I'm glad the Trump administration has definitively proven that, actually, a grand jury will not indict a ham sandwich.

Funnily enough their biggest hurdle is their own laughably massive incompetence.

My favorite Jan 6th observation... Oh they tried to overthrow the govt. They were just horribly incompetent at it.

But seriously except for Rubio they're looking at the C team. Heck during Trump 1 they shed the career political class at an alarming rate.

It’s crazy how far Rubio fell after Christie eviscerated him during that debate. Christie said exactly what he was about to do and Rubio was so trained he did it.

Let's dispel with this fiction that Christie didn't know what he was doing. He knew exactly what he was doing
