Johnson folds like a bad poker hand every time. I get they're playing for the drama in this snapshot moment, but when the pardon comes Johnson gonna Johnson. He'll laud it as a "necessity for moving on" or some shit.

Don’t trust it or him. He is a proven liar. Iraq would be an e.z. win for America. In 1998 he along
with Dick Cheney, Rumsfeld, Kagan, and Wolfwitz they started campaigning for regime change in
Iraq.
