Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), who serves on the Jan. 6 Select Committee, on Sunday said the panel plans to show evidence that GOP members of Congress sought pardons from former President Trump in light of their involvement with efforts to overturn the 2020 election results.
Cheney also suggested that the panel’s third public hearing scheduled for Wednesday will feature information about efforts by GOP lawmakers, including Perry, to secure a pardon for themselves after Jan. 6. Perry’s spokesperson Jay Ostrich denied Cheney’s allegation, telling reporters that the claim is a “laughable, ludicrous and a thoroughly soulless lie.”
I’m thinking something along the lines of, “It was a matter of self-defense! I knew that the paedo-Communists in Congress (and their lapdog media) were going to attempt to frame me, so I had no choice but to ask for a pardon!”

I’m able to watch tomorrow’s hearing live, but I am working on both Wednesday and Thursday…so I’m depending on all my TPM friends to keep me up to speed until I can catch the highlights later in the evening.
But wouldn’t we ALL like to be pardoned for whatever indiscretions we might have committed? I mean, asking for a pardon is not necessarily an admission of wrongdoing.
And I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I might–might–be willing to sell you.
The messages will get out no problem… Hell, I barely remember a time when it mattered when a thing ran. I remember my acting-fascinated girlfriend at the time and I making a point of being at home on Fridays in time for “Homicide: Life on the Street,” but that was almost 30 years ago.
