If the Jan 6th Defendants are not all pardoned by that date, then Trump has learned nothing about power or about his enemies.
I am optimistic about Trump's upcoming rule but people need to understand it is the last opportunity to turn this car around, whether or not Trump pardons the Jan6 Defendants will be the sign as to whether the car is getting turned around or if we are just going to pull the car over at a rest stop before careening off the cliff in 2028.
