So Bondi and Kash make a big deal out of arresting the J6 pipe bomber then the guy confesses that he is a Trump supporter who thought the 2020 election was stolen and his lawyer is arguing that Trump’s broadly-worded J6 blanket pardon applies to him and he should go free. Poetry.

Hep B prevention is Cassidy's passion, as he made clear during RFK Jr's confirmation hearings.
But let's not forget... his vote to confirm RFK Jr. got us into this mess!
