Since 1987, the entire construct of the U.S. mandatory sentencing code is that convicted defendants can only receive reductions in sentences for displaying remorse and fully cooperating with prosecutors. The perversity of Trump and his guilt is that for a pardon, Maxwell must display the opposite.

But the most dangerous part isn’t the mechanics. It’s the message.
They’re doing it in public to make you swallow the real lie:
That voting is pointless.
If they can get you to quit before Election Day… they don’t even have to win.
