In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.

By Cotton’s logic, any effort to survive is only interpretable as guilt. Flipping the boat over? You must be trying to save the cargo, not yourself. It’s a monstrous logic, both morally and strategically; Cotton has neither the intellect nor the soul to see why, but unfortunately he does have power.
