She thinks everyone deserves a pardon...
In the same vein (and following on from the Parler screenshot earlier in this thread): https://www.politico.com/news/2021/01/15/attorney-qanon-shaman-trump-pardon-459608
Remember the Jamiroquai tryhard wannabe who lives with his Mum and can only eat organic food? His lawyer thinks the same thing. Trump "owes" them a pardon. Oh and he's considering giving one to Stephen Bannon, yet another former dropkick, uh, "aide" as well.

The Washington Post - Opinion - Trump’s future looks rotten
today
President Trump faces a horrid future.
He is the first U.S. president in history to be impeached twice; he lost the popular vote twice; he lost both the House and Senate for his party; and more than 383,000 Americans have died from covid-19 on his watch.
He has clearly sewn up the title of “worst president ever.”
If found guilty by a soon-to-be Democratic-controlled Senate, he will be unable to run for office again and may lose his post-presidential benefits (e.g., salary, travel allowance).
But that is far from his biggest worry.
Trump may be sued civilly or charged criminally for tax avoidance or other financial crimes that state prosecutors in New York are investigating.
Depending on the charges, he could face significant fines or even imprisonment.
Speaking of finances, Trump reportedly has more than $400 million in loans coming due.
However, his banks are cutting ties. Deutsche Bank, which holds about $340 million of the debt, and Signature Bank do not want to do business with him.
It is far from clear what lender is going to take him on as a client.
Trump may also face a federal criminal investigation for seeking to change election results in Georgia during two phone calls with state election officials - one of which was recorded. ...
That was all before we got to his Jan. 6 activities. ...

The Washington Post - In Trump’s final days, a spree of environmental rollbacks
today
Rules affect oil and gas drilling, mining and logging, along with energy efficiency standards and restrictions on toxic chemicals
The Trump administration has gone on a final spree of environmental rollbacks in its final days, loosening standards for equipment Americans use to heat their homes, reducing protected habitat for the northern spotted owl and opening conservation lands in California and Utah to development.
The flurry of new rules - several of which will help the fossil fuel, logging and mining industries - sets up a clash with the incoming Biden administration. ...
“Trump is the most anti-nature president in U.S. history, so it comes as no surprise that his administration is doubling down by selling off anything and everything before they leave office,” said Jenny Rowland-Shea, a senior policy analyst for public lands at the Center for American Progress, a liberal think tank.
“What we’re seeing right now is a last-ditch, desperate effort by the Trump administration to rubber-stamp as many permits, sign as many contracts and cut as many protected areas as it can to make a mess for the incoming Biden administration.”
The oil, gas and mining industries stand to gain the most from these final rule changes. ...

I was just reading about that dumbarse real estate agent from Texas. Someone commented how it's funny she went from (paraphrased) "we're going to go in and take over the place, life or death" to "oh, I didn't know it was going to be violent, I thought I was there for a peaceful protest". Um, okay...your Twitter feed doesn't read like that either, idiot: https://twitter.com/dotjenna (note: full of conspiracy theory bs).
Poor, misguided snowflake. Hope you enjoy your time in prison, and no, you don't deserve a pardon - none of your thug friends do, either.

After all, she is a Very Important Rich Person with a private jet. 😎
