I’ll bet against a blanket pardon of the insurrectionists and a self-pardon, but honestly it’s like predicting where a fly is going to land, so I don’t put much stock into my or anybody else’s predictions. yes, impossible to predict. But I can absolutely guarantee you that there will be no end to the butt-hurt complaining about how *Jimmy (the worst president ever) Carter gave blanket pardons to draft dodging, treasonous hippies, so why can’t His Excellency (the Greatest President Ever) give pardons to the MAGATs who are real Patriots. *there is a lot of speculation about why Jimmy lost his second term. Iran hostages and the economy comes up a lot. But really, a lot of the deplorables we saw in DC of a certain age last week , wanted him out because of the Vietnam pardons. Not to mention they believe we lost that war because of integration and those elite college kids protesting and spitting on soldiers. Ironically, they had no problem voting for W and Cheney who took deferments to stay out of the war, but Clinton protested that one time in London, so he’s a traitor too. As we saw with Ford, pardons can be a double edged sword for the party of the president signing them. So I expect McConnell and maybe Barr has left some time bombs around to prevent some mass pardons – if only to keep the FBI’s eyes on the small fry and off the bigger fish who had a hand in making it happen. Trumps never going to extend a blanket pardon to Lindsey, Cruz or Moscow Mitch. I think if the turn out at his 8 AM going away party tomorrow isn’t pleasing to him, he may decide to underbus them all for their disloyalty.
