Unfortunately that is all too true. One of the corruption aspects that got Martin Luther (a rabid Jew-hater with piles, so he wasn't really entitled to complain) so het up with the Catholic Church, was the cheerful sale of indulgences. If you had the money you could buy absolution in advance for the sins you intended to commit, including rape and murder. And while it was before Luther's time, in the days of the Crusades you could get absolution for anything you'd done just by going off to fight the infidel. Ah, those were the days. If you overlook the way crusaders so often fought and slaughtered and conquered other Christians instead of fighting the infidel. The Knights Templar and the Knights of St. John hated each other more than either of them hated Zenghi esh-Shami. And the Templars at least made surreptitious sweetheart deals with the Assassins.I wonder if his painful haemorroids and constipation were the real source of Luther's rage.

He was afraid someone might say he'd been a naughty boy.

The case against TFG that the J6 committee has been putting forth has surpassed all my expectations. However, I’ve always said the GA case would be the easiest to prosecute, given the recorded telephone call (Lordy, there were tapes!) and the other evidence. It will be a lot easier for a jury to follow the evidence in that case.

And from a practical perspective, it will be harder to claim it’s a Biden administration DOJ witch-hunt when it’s not the DOJ doing the prosecuting.

Now, would Kemp pardon TFG if he were convicted of state charges in GA? Maybe, but I don’t see why he’d want to, given that TFG has shit all over him and endorsed his primary opponent. There is no love lost between TFG and Kemp. Plus, the case likely wouldn’t go to trial until after 2022, at which point I hope Stacey Abrams will be Governor.
