Which (Alleged) Crime Did Matt Gaetz Want a Pardon For?
Former President Donald Trump was not lacking in pardon requests in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 riots, according to new information revealed during the hearings on Thursday. Among those who asked for pardons: Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) and Mo Brooks (R-AL). That in itself proves that Brooks knew Trump\u2019s \u201cBig Lie\u201d was a load of BS, says New Abnormal co-host Andy Levy on the latest post-hearing episode. Also in this episode, Jay Willis, editor in chief of Balls & Strikes, breaks down two Supreme Court rulings, including the rejection of gun control legislation in New York, loudly proclaimed in an opinion by Justice Clarence Thomas. \u201cThomas\u2019 opinion basically freezes firearm regulation as it existed [in the Constitution],\u201d Willis says of Thomas\u2019 mind-boggling explanation. Last but not least, Greg Sargent, author of The Washington Post\u2019s The Plum Line blog, makes the case that the Jan. 6 hearings are absolutely making an impact.
