Right Wing Watch: John Pierce, a lawyer representing dozens of defendants facing charges for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, told supporters in a fundraising email Sunday that if Kamala Harris defeats Donald Trump in this year's presidential election, his "contingency" plan for getting presidential pardons for his clients will be off the table.
... Harris Victory Would End Chance for Proud Boys Pardons ...

I go bar-hopping and they say "last call"
I start shopping for a Neanderthal
