Tie every republican running for office to certain issues

1. Destruction of the White House East Wing.
No approval or plan.

2. Pardon a convicted drug smuggler, 400 tons.

3. Favorable treatment for a convicted human trafficker of sexual victims.
.
4. Pardon all Jan6 violent offenders who tried to kill police.

5. Killing American citizens with his ICE police.

He will wait until after the election for his pardons so it will hurt less for the republicans.
Especially the pardon of Ghislaine Maxwell.
