I think we talked about the Kushner story. It supposedly tanked Christie’s chances in the new administration.

And more run-of-mill swamp creatures.
Trump pardoned former congressmen Duncan D. Hunter (R-Calif.), who pleaded guilty to misuse of campaign funds, and Chris Collins (R-N.Y.), who was in prison after being convicted of securities fraud. The president commuted the sentence of former congressman Steve Stockman (R-Tex.), who was convicted of misusing charitable contributions. Hunter and Collins were early and avid supporters of Trump’s campaign.

More about Chris Collins:
According to the federal government, on June 22, 2017, the CEO of Innate Immunotherapeutics sent an email to the company's board of directors, including Collins. The e-mail explained that an important drug trial for the company had failed. Collins allegedly received this news while attending a picnic at the White House and, upon seeing the email, immediately phoned his son and instructed him to sell shares in the company. According to the allegations, the sale allowed Collins and his family to avoid around $570,000 in losses. The shares eventually dropped around 90% once news about the drug trial became public.[69]

On Kushner:
Yeah that’s really awful but it’s not germane to any point of someone pardoning their son in laws dad. I think people would get that.

For which Christie is likely grateful now.

My guess is some of these guys aren’t done. Prolly some pissed off law enforcement agents and prosecutors out there tonight. I suspect some of these men will be hunted. OJ redux.

The phrase 'what a bunch of cunts' has leapt, unbidden, into my mind.
And for some reason it refuses to leave.

Dang, the Trump supporters must be so embarrassed now.
(Yeah, like Trump has never embarrassed them before.) -

Pretty much anyone who's still a Trump supporter has developed the psychological defense mechanisms necessary to not be embarrassed by him.

All it takes to be a Trump supporter is hatred for Ms. Clinton
It's no different than being a Biden supporter
It is impossible for anyone to think Mr. Biden could be a good president
But hating Mr. Trump is easy for so many
You eat what is put in front of you.
