It’s important to remember there are two scandals here:
1. The Administration has likely committed war crimes.
2. But the entire operation - which now includes two dozen attacks - is illegal. In our democracy, the President CANNOT wage war without the consent of the people.

I'm not sure what Trump thought he was doing by posting the Cuellar daughters' letter & his "lack of LOYALTY" rant, but, in addition to making clear the transactional nature of the pardon in his mind, he also admitted that a transparently flattering letter is all it takes for him to grant a pardon.

Trump rages that Henry Cuellar didn’t pay him back for a pardon by switching parties, blasting Cuellar for a “lack of LOYALTY.”
In other words, Trump admits he was trying to use his pardon power to buy Republicans a House seat.
