Pardon me !? ... I mean pardon them !?
Two other startling reveals, which were kind of swept away in the flood plain, of a dozen other stunning reveals …

Add Mark and Rudy to the “Keep me out of Jail” wish list ...
Driving the news: According to the aides who testified, the following members sought pardons:
- Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.)
- Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.)
- Rep. Mo Brooks (R-Ala.)
- Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas)
- Rep. Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.)
- Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.)
Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.) in particular was a champion of installing DOJ official Jeffrey Clark, a vocal believer of Trump's claims, as acting attorney general.

- Hutchinson also said she had heard that Greene reached out to the White House counsel's office to ask for a pardon. She said Rep. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) "talked about ... pardons but he never asked me for one."
- John McEntee, the former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, said Trump "hinted at blanket pardon" for "everyone involved."
Why it matters: The testimony was played at the end of a hearing that included new details about lawmakers' involvement in former President Trump's efforts to pressure the Justice Department to probe his voter fraud claims.

It must really burn them now, that their former Insurrectionist-in-Chief left them all out to dry.
Meadows had better flip — while he still has a flippin’ chance. He does have that million dollar “donation” in his coffers, that he’s going to have to explain, sooner or later.
