Donald Trump has promised to pardon his White House staffers, reported the Wall Street Journal’s Josh Dawsey in an exclusive report on Friday.

Dawsey, the veteran DC reporter, cited “people who have heard his comments” in the bombshell report revealing that Trump is asking his staff to operate with a sense of impunity.

“I’ll pardon everyone who has come within 200 feet of the Oval,” Trump reportedly told staffers “in a recent meeting to laughs.”

      I’ll believe it when I see it. Maybe if you manage to primary candidates that have a spine and will actually do this.

      (But yes, everyone should vote blue in general midterms, because the electoral system is cooked and the alternative is messed up beyond words. Especially those who believe Dems are just pretending to oppose fascism or sometjing - the more the Dems win, the more their bluff gets called. And one can say: “Okay, we voted blue and blue won. Now what?”)
