Hot Mic Captures Matt Gaetz Assuring Roger Stone of Presidential Pardon


The Washington Post reports that during an October 2019 event at a Trump property, a hot mic video caught Matt Gaetz telling Roger Stone he'd likely be found guilty of the obstruction charges and other crimes he was facing, but assured Stone that “the Boss” would likely grant him clemency, even if he were convicted because "The Boss still has a very favorable view of you.”  Gaetz then explained to Stone how he was working on getting him a pardon, but was hesitant to say more backstage at the event "Since there are many, many recording devices around right now, I do not feel in a position to speak freely about the work I've already done on that subject."

So, here we have a man charged with obstruction, witness tampering, fraud, and conspiracy, negotiating a presidential pardon from a guy serving on the House Judiciary Committee, who stands accused of child sex trafficking.  I mean, who could possibly have an issue with that?


The thing is, it seems this band of “not so Goodfellas,” just can’t seem to keep their big mouths shut.  That’s the thing with criminals - they just can’t seem to stop themselves from talking about their crimes.  It's like going to the bar with your coworkers to try and relax - and someone’s inevitably going to bring up work.


Hell, Stone even told journalist Howard Fineman that Trump "knows I was under enormous pressure to turn on him.  It would have eased my situation considerably, but I didn’t.”  Oh really?  Well, that makes things pretty clear - either Trump helps Roger Stone, or Stone starts singing like a canary.  And, what do you know?  Trump pardoned Stone on all of his seven felony convictions!  Gee, who could’ve seen that coming?


Fact is, blabber-mouth Trump even praised Stone “publicly” for not “flipping” on him.  Now, not to be judgmental, but if you’re thanking someone for “not flipping” on you, doesn’t that sort of imply there must have been something there to “flip?”  You can call me “old-fashioned,” but I always thought a presidential pardon was supposed to be used to correct injustices, not to reward underlings for covering up your crimes.  


Why, all this “the Boss will take care of things” talk, makes it sound just like they’re talking about a “mob boss,” not a sitting US President.  These folks not only talk like mobsters, but they also act like mobsters.  Gee, maybe they are mobsters?  A guy in the construction business in New York, involved with the mob?  Say it isn’t so!  Frankly, it must be tough for Trump and his pals to try and figure out if they wanna be mobsters, fascists, or just plain assholes.  Personally, I’d prefer to think of them as “inmates.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Pete Buttigieg Emasculating Driving With Electric Cars

During a segment on Neil Cavuto’s Fox News program, US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was told by the host that Marjorie Taylor Greene is claiming "Mr. Buttigieg is trying to emasculate the way we drive" by supporting electric vehicles.  In response, Buttigieg told Cavuto that “my sense of manhood is not connected to whether my vehicle is fueled by gasoline, or whether it's fueled by electricity.”  When asked by Cavuto if he was offended by what Greene said, Buttigieg remarked "To be honest, there are other members of Congress that I pay more attention to when I'm thinking about opinions that really matter.” Oh, come on now!  Let’s get real.  It would take a helluva lot more than an electric car to “emasculate” Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Besides, I’m pretty sure “real men” actually ride horses, anyway.  Of course, I’m certainly no psychiatrist, but it sounds like Greene’s anger could be a combination of both “road rage” and “roid rage,” leaving her...

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
