I know some of them were a bit worried about it but in the end the pardon stuff is maybe the clearest possible example of "the Framers didn't really see someone this corrupt coming"
New reporting says Don Jr. directly facilitated the pardon of a crypto whale who had promoted the Trump's family crypto. Jr. brought the pardon lawyer to the White House, and introduced him directly to his Dad. Pardon occurred right after. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

if a jackass like me can get pretty good traction on a post like this, it would be way more powerful if our elected leaders hit the points in a clear way.
CBS paid the president of the United States millions in bribe money and now they censor news reports so it does not annoy him. I don’t know how much plainer we can put this.

Those seeking pardons through official channels have watched while Trump grants pardons to people who never entered the system at all.
“If you’re a donor or political supporter, you move to the front of the line,” said a lawyer for one pardon-seeker.

Three things about the Witkoff tapes:
1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.
2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.
3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.
