RE: We Need Your Help to Protect Steem
The witnesses 'plotted' a temporary freeze on assets that were never to be used for governance anyway as an emergency measure in response to a change in administration combined with conflicting information from Sun. They made a public statement and opened the issue to public debate and witness vote changes. Their goal was to protect the community. Whether it was wise or not is open to discussion, but Sun has done everything he could to prove them right after the fact.
Their goal was to keep themselves in their positions as witnesses. That's the only part I believe.
