On Rachel's show right now re Gaetz (with notes for those who missed it):

Talking about Matt Gaetz asking for pre emptive (for himself and others) pardon from trump. From Rachel's report, it appears he didn't get one.

eta for those who missed it, because it was quick:

- Gaetz was already under investigation for the current sex scandal and knew it

- He didn't mention this to trump at the time; the request was for a blanket pardon

- Including himself as part of a group was likely intended as cover

I hope it turns out as poorly for him as it appears to be headed.

3. Who keeps track of these so-called "secret" pardons? Are the documents signed, dated, stored

somewhere and kept secret till they're needed to spring someone after charges are filed? Would the DOJ or FBI have them? Or is everyone just supposed to take Trump's word for it? WTF?
