This crap going around about Rachel Maddow wanting TFG to be pardoned really needs to stop. This place feels like Twitter today.

She made the massively well-researched podcast Bag Man about Nixon's VP, Spiro Agnew, who was a frickin' crook. He was indicted on over 40 federal counts.

He was offered a plea deal. The indictment would go away, but he could never, ever run for public office again. Maddow was wondering if TFG would want a plea deal.

Personally, I don't care if he's in jail. I just never want him in a position of power again.

A plea deal is NOT a pardon.

If you haven't listened to Maddow's award-winning podcast Ultra, you might want to do that. No way in hell she wants to pardon fascists.

Seriously, stop it.

No D would ever seriously suggest a plea deal. No, it isn't a pardon, but it would be viewed as him getting off scot-free, and the Dems would never live it down. Also, no real prosecutor would consider offering him a deal because they know he would never adhere to it.

It wasn't a suggestion. It was a conversation. I'm sure no one cares if you've lost respect for her. She does brilliant work (Bag Man, Ultra, and her book on the illegal Iraq war). She's also a human being, as in--not perfect.
