It certainly isn’t 42.
light on details for now, but any toe in the door is a good one…
Myself, I’ll be requiring frequent assurances, now, that shit’s getting ramped up now, even if results won’t be untill a few months down the road yet. Every crowbar breach must be duly taken note of, because every one of them will be required.
“There were some bad actors at the Trump Organization. Bad, bad, bad. The worst. They’re gonna get their punishment when this is all done. I didn’t know what they were doing. I was busy trying to make America great again and protect all the good people against those crazies on the left. I was being the best President anyone has ever seen.”
A special grand jury has been requested in Georgia:
A few tidbits from the records that Oranganus Deploribus tried to hide:
Among the records that Donald Trump’s lawyers tried to shield from Jan. 6 investigators are a draft executive order that would have directed the defense secretary to seize voting machines and a document titled “Remarks on National Healing”.
A few choice exerpts from the “Remarks on National Healing” speech somebody wrote for him:
“The Demonstrators who infiltrated the Capitol have defiled the seat of American Democracy… I am directing the Department of Justice to ensure all lawbreakers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
“But as for THIS election, Congress has now certified the results… The election fight is over. A new administration will be inaugurated on January 20th. My focus now turns to ensuring a smooth, orderly and seamless transition of power. This moment calls for healing and reconciliation.”
“We must renew the sacred bonds of love and loyalty that bind us together as one national family”
I can just imagine the enraged tirade from the Tangerine Toddler if someone actually dared to suggest to him that he deliver that speech… 
ETA: ran outa free (5) Business Insider views (which was the orignal source)
Individual 1 said at his Nuremberg rally last night that he would consider granting pardons to the 1/6 insurrectionists if he is reelected President. I’m sure that’s not at all an attempt at letting them know they need to keep their mouths shut,
Speaking of his rally…
The things he said were essentially treasonous, so his premise must be If they charge me with treason, I need you guys to prove it.
Seditious, maybe.
“Vrg litf aeii puyfc ard,” quipped one . . .
Here’s the full text:
I keep being reminded of this scene:
Spock: Captain, the speech follows no logical pattern.
Kirk: Random sentences strung together.
McCoy: He looks drugged, Jim. Almost at a cataleptic state.
–Star Trek, the Original Series, “Patterns of Force”
Also to let others who would follow their example know that they don’t need to worry about the consequences.
Essentially, Trump just said “help me overthrow the government, and I will pardon you”
This is not normal. This is not remotely acceptable.
Republicans will stay silent.
If he is elected in 2024, the earliest he could pardon anyone is January 20, 2025, by which time most everyone convicted for their actions on January 6, 2021 will have already served their sentence. So what good does the offer do?
Evidence suggests that analysis and thinking things through is not their strong suit.
It sends a message to anyone who wants another go at overthrowing the elected government in November 2024 - January 2025 that if they are successful this time, they can expect a pardon from Emperor Trump.
That assumes he’s thinking that far ahead.
This is more in line with his typical “scratch my back, I’ll maybe think about scratching yours later” MO. He rarely does scratch back, especially for anybody who gets caught. He’s like a mafioso in a bad B-movie and somehow after years of his schtick, we’re all still overestimating his capacity for strategy.
He could have pardoned them all before he left office and didn’t. No matter what they do, I doubt he’ll do anything for these chucklefucks unless they pony up at least 7 figures. He doesn’t give a rat’s ass about them and if/once he’s in office, he doesn’t have to give a shit about a bunch of loser criminals who had the temerity to get caught and so he won’t.
The only part he cares about is their willingness to offer him support, praise, and money, which is why he’s bringing it up now. Saying he’ll pardon them = “give me votes and money now and I’ll scratch your back later”. But he’s never been the type to return the favor later on.
