Expert on Lawrence O'Donnell says no reason Trump can't pardon the entire group of insurrectionists.

33. One would hope. But the fact that the great majority of R Congresspersons

felt free to vote against impeachment over this, and that almost no Rs seem wiling to say Trump committed an impeachable offense makes me worry.

I guess you're saying that he has some plausible(?) deniability now that he'd sacrifice by pardoning the insurrectionists? My fear is he'll frame it as a move toward "unity" and "healing" to pardon them.

Orwellian, yes. But isn't this the BS RW politicians & media are selling now? Dems are being divisive by trying to hold anyone responsible for the attempted coup, which they, of course, don't call a coup. Instead, the "protesters" were simply "knocking on the door of the Capitol" politely asking to be heard.

Propaganda like this got 74 million Americans to vote for that monster just a few months ago.
