The Nuremberg trials were held by the Allies against leaders of defeated Nazi Germany for invading other countries & committing atrocities of the worst kind.
Some tried to defend themselves saying they were following orders. That defense was not accepted. They were found guilty & most were executed

Yesterday in the Comey hearing, prosecutors *repeatedly* confirmed that the full grand jury never saw or voted on the two-count indictment.
Now they’re claiming the grand jury *did* vote on it.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.
Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

Ellis repeatedly accuses multiple CBP and ICE officials of lying (under oath) and says their "widespread misrepresentations call into question everything" they "say they are doing in their characterization of what is happening." She broadly discredits their testimony as objectively false.

You should start with calling out your GOP colleagues, who mostly prevented Trump from being barred from office the last time he attempted to kill members of Congress for disagreeing with him. They’re going to do the same ostrich act for this. You’re going to treat them as normal.
