Regardless of what Comey thinks, the primary issue is that Trump will spin a pardon as a victory of some kind.
I would much rather have him foaming at the mouth.
No, no. I have a very good reason why.
Think about what happened in the Capitol. Think about all those fucking lunatics. Now, think about them going to ground once more.
Does that thought sound nice?
Didn't think so.
The thing about an angry Trump is that he's going to be calling for his supporters no matter what happens. And regardless of any empty platitudes of unity, the element that will rally to support Trump in a do-or-die charge is the element that MUST BE PURGED.
People. We need to clean house. And we need to do so with the tools of due process.
But in order to use those tools, we need these assholes to hang themselves.
We've already seen that they aren't too bright. They're Monkey D. Luffy levels of stupid - he'd jump into a hot oven if someone threw a pork chop in there.
And in this case? Trump is the pork chop, and the oven is the Judicial Branch of the United States Government.
Let's throw the pork chop in there and see how many people follow him in.
