Just got an email from my aunt, Auntie Climax. Trump's pardoning every criminal connected to his failed coup.
Basically every criminal whose hands touched his failed insurrection attempt.
Rudy and lions and tigers and bears, oh my.
Trump's sense of "outrage" and "spectacle" has worn thin.
It's like you're walking through the park, and there are ducks by a lake, and he goes "SEE THAT DUCK? I FUCKED THAT DUCK! ME! I DID!"
And you go "OK" and keep walking.
Trump has pardoned a roll call of his allies who were involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
The 77-person list was shared by Department of Justice attorney Ed Martin in an X post titled, “Important pardon of Alternate Electors of 2020!!”
Martin, who was appointed by Trump to serve as the DOJ’s pardon attorney and has been tasked with rooting out “weaponization” at the department, posted an undated presidential proclamation claiming to grant “full, complete and unconditional” pardons were granted to former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani, former Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, attorneys John Eastman and Kenneth Chesebro, Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn, and conservative attorney Sidney Powell, among others.
The people on the list were involved in attempts to overturn Trump’s 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden by submitting the names of fake electors from four states to Congress.
