Everything you need to know about the New York Times story covering President Donald Trump’s (I get giddy all over again every time I type those three glorious words) pardons of Jan. 6 political prisoners appears in its headline and subhead.
Take a look:
Trump Crushes Justice Department’s Biggest Investigation In an Instant
President Trump’s pardons in the Jan. 6 case abruptly ended the most complex investigation in U.S. history. It also raised questions about what he will do next against a department he has said is full of his enemies.
[End]
You get that? Trump is evil, so he is “crushing” an investigation rather than ending one of the most heinous gross abuses of executive and congressional power in U.S. history. And Trump’s action doesn’t raise questions about what the 47th POTUS might do next in his efforts to reform DOJ and rein in its serial abuses of the civil rights of all Americans, oh no. Trump is the Bad Orange Man again, so the question becomes “what he will do next against” the department.
