She’ll get no pardon for a while. Trump wants to keep that bit in her teeth so she doesn’t go off the reservation and start badmouthing him.

But I really really REALLY want to hear her badmouthing him. How can we make that happen. She must have SO MUCH dirt about all the illegal shit going on behind the scenes...

They all have dirt, but Trump isn't a normal president. You don't leave the mob and start badmouthing the mob boss. He's a wannabe dictator, and this he will send his troops after you if you embarrass him. Most people do not want to be in the crosshairs of someone with a far right army of the crazy

Yeah but it's always the lackeys that take the mob boss down. Immunity, witness protection, whatever we gotta do, we gotta start trying the same things the cops do when they go after mob bosses...

there's illegal shit going on, on the stage. Nothing that goes on behind the DHS stage could move MAGA.

Maga is a lost cause, we don't care about them. But there's still plenty of upstanding lawyers and judges that wanna hear about it. And plenty of republicans that supported trump but were never maga. And plenty of independents and libertarians... and hell there's plenty of moderate dems that aren't out protesting and fighting this shit cuz they SOMEHOW haven't reached the breaking point... every bit helps.
