WTAF? Takes a special kind of ego to presume the guy who made his bones as "Chief GD Copy Editor" is paying attention to neither the copy nor the editing of his own statements.

It seems like this line from his Hannity interview about J6 was him describing his entire ethos around putting any effort into leading: "It would be very, very cumbersome to go and look – you know how many people we’re talking about? 1,500 people."

Would you feel any differently if a spate of pardons for other political targets who have already been called out (eg Fauci, Smith, etc) were to soon follow?
