The DOJ ordered US Marshals to the house of the pardon attorney who refused to sign off on a pardon to give Mel Gibson back his guns. Big law firms told her they supported her but did not want to be seen representing her.
This is the use of government-sponsored fear to silence dissent.

New in PN: The hysteria over Biden's pardons seems extra ridiculous now
"Trump has perverted the pardon power far beyond the most questionable actions of any other modern president, emboldening a diverse cast of crooked politicians and outright fraudsters in a new American age of corruption."

Once again, he is disobeying court orders and basically saying that Americans will continue to go hungry until the Dems allow him and the MAGAs to destroy our healthcare access.
Keep fighting for Americans, Democrats!🔥
