I'd say ANY criminal who perjured themselves TWICE should NEVER be given a "pardon" for ANY reason.

My guess is that Republicans are wondering if they can withstand the public blowback that would follow a Maxwell pardon, a woman who lied twice during her hearing, in exchange for her claiming Trump didn't sexually abuse 13 year old girls.

The fact that they are "weighing their options" is almost as disgusting as the concept itself.
