Trump Pardons Aides, Forgetting the 'Law and Order' Crowd
Former President Trump has reportedly pardoned Rudy Giuliani and several other former aides. This move, celebrated by loyalists, conveniently sidesteps the very 'law and order' principles his base often champions, especially when their chosen leader is the one distributing the Get Out of Jail Free cards. It's almost as if the concept of accountability becomes fluid, bending to the will of
political expediency. One might wonder if this gesture signals a strong belief in their innocence, or perhaps a pre-emptive strike against future embarrassments for the former administration. Either way, the message is clear: loyalty in politics often comes with a highly effective indemnity clause, rendering inconvenient legal challenges null and void. The public, of course, is expected to simply
observe this display of unilateral power and then... move along.
