I fear a Maxwell pardon will cost us midterms [View all]

Aside from the fact such a cretin should never see the light of day again, she’ll lie through her teeth, incriminate Dems (and only Dems). She’ll get her pardon, she’ll be believed, the felon will be seen as a hero and Congress stays red.

I’m calling it now.
