Anyone reading on Jan 20, 2021 the list of T****'s last minute pardon palooza recipients could tell there and then that the clemency powers had been dramatically abused, and that many others would have sought clemency, too.

justice.gov/pardon/pardons…

At the DOJ link above, there are 5 clemency dates between the defeated former president's stunning electoral loss and the day he skulked out of DC before the victorious Biden took over.

(Never forget details like those, BTW. The coward gave the country itself the bird.)

Notable pardons included the clear, long term Russian assets and criminal conspirators Michael Flynn and Stephen Bannon.

They started on the fascist project to undermine American democracy years before T**** launched his presidential run in 2015.

I say this as a former SUPPORTER of Flynn and T**** et al, having been sucked in, like millions around the world (not just Americans) were.

I never supported Bannon, out of concern for the damage he was doing to the "maga" movement. I wish I knew then what I know now.

And I need to point out that, since 1/6 both Flynn and Bannon have gone on record, in public, about their desire to see yet more bloodshed in the cause of driving the US fully over the line into autocracy, fascism, whatever term you want to use. They are brazen latter day Nazis.

Along with many others on those pardon lists, or the spouses of people on those lists.

I understand and support the American presidential clemency powers. The alternative is intolerable. A "sovereign" chief exec needs the power to right wrongs, even in their lame duck period...

The way to prevent the abuse of those powers is to vote against the candidate when you have the chance.

And the argument (IMO) for continuing those powers until the moment of leaving office is that a genuine wrong that needs to be righted could arise during that time.

Moments during the Jan 6 public hearings are enjoyable, satisfying, and hopeful to watch. But I encourage you to focus on the important parts, and not to give up hope. Not now, when the US is on the precipice of protecting itself from certain midterm and other election outcomes.

Choose to accept that we're not going to get all of the accountability that we deserve and need.

The actual legal process is long, detailed, and difficult. As it should be.

What matters right now is winning the midterms, to prevent losing in 2024 to Republican lawlessness.

Ukraine is in a "hot" fight for their lives and their centuries-old struggle for independence. A war for national survival.

The US is in a cold civil war for it's own democracy & rule of law. The 2022 midterms really are your last chance. I know folk say that every time but:

It really is the last chance. And this fight is for the survival of the other countries in the world that want to keep their democracies, too. We have skin in the game. It's all connected, because it was all planned, when traitors like Flynn were getting started.

If you could see through the scam before I did, congratulations. Now let's set that aside and get to work on solving the problem.

Humbly, thank you.
