The evidence will tell the story.
Most of the Trump campaign members and associates now cooperating started off being loyal to the Trump campaign.
They're now cooperating because they lied to Mueller's investigators about their election-related interactions with Russian operatives and/or other foreign operatives.
The investigators and prosecutors knew the Trump campaign members and associates were lying because Mueller's team had (or later obtained) solid evidence to contradict what the Trump campaign members and associates had claimed under questioning.
