As for Blagojevich, what, no full pardon for him? I guess Trump just couldn’t find it in himself to give a full pardon to a Democrat.

As I just wrote in the Trump Clusterfuck thread:

Okay, I can also appreciate **Loach** suggestion that it’s a shot at Comey, even if that happens to be factually false (which is irrelevant in Trumpworld).

(Wow, what an active thread! In the time I typed up the above, 8 new posts were added!)
