    I remember when Republicans claimed to believe that even a former president talking to the Attorney General was massive corruption. Now, Trump’s criminal defense attorney is the head of the DOJ and has custody of the Epstein files. - Maxwell pardon on the way.

    “Aw shucks, sometimes you just don’t win guys. But boy oh boy they really gave him a hard time before nothing came of it huh? They really totally tried so hard guys. I will remember them fondly and vote for them going forward!!”

    Another meanless “written commitment” extracted from people proven to lie. Maybe worse than the other useless habit of writing strongly worded letters in the “No we totally tried guys” category.
