Pardons? I don't know nuthin' 'bout no pardons!
You just knew when Liz Cheney opened the hearings today with the news that they would be naming names about congress members seeking pardons it would start a bit of a firestorm. Seems that representatives Gaetz, Biggs, Gohmert and Brooks were "offended" by the suggestion.
Gaetz tweeted Thursday that the Jan. 6 committee is “an unconstitutional political sideshow” that is “siccing federal law enforcement on political opponents.”
Biggs, in a statement Thursday, denied asking for a pardon and added that Hutchinson’s video testimony was “deceptively edited to make it appear as if I personally asked her for a presidential pardon.”
Gohmert said Thursday that he had sought pardons for “other deserving individuals” but not for himself. “I had and have nothing for which to seek a pardon,” he said in a statement Friday.
Brooks argues that “Socialist Democrats (with perhaps some liberal Republican help) are going to abuse America’s judicial system by targeting numerous Republicans with sham charges deriving from our recent fight for honest and accurate elections, and speeches related thereto.”
Dog ate my homework. I was unavoidably detained. I ran outta gas. I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from outta town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake, a terrible flood, locust's. It wasn't my fault! I swear to God!
