33. What does it say about Trump....

Mon Jan 20, 2025, 12:46 PM

Jan 20

That dedicated national officials who have done nothing wrong have to be pre-emptively pardoned to keep Trump from abusing the justice system against them.
I just remember Andrew McCabe, the FBI man, who endured THREE grand juries (all of which declined to indict him because he'd done no crime), lost his pension, and ended a long career in sorrow.
These people won't have to deal with the Trump Revenge Department (used to be US DOJ).
