In the Nuremberg trials it was established that "following orders" isn't a defense

We'll see. The Nuremberg thing might work if Canada and allies depose Trump, but I think a big thing keeping Trump from pardoning minions while they're still doing his bidding is the loss of leverage.

Between that, Vance stepping in and the fact that grand juries and juries would would be drawn from the same population that elected him twice, I just dont see much hope for the justice system dealing with Trump's soldiers other than real low level types thrown to the wolves.
