I think Miller, Hegseth, Noem, Bondi, Vought, Bessent et al know they will have free reign for at least one more year, maybe more, and will do their best to make the most of it, enacting their own extreme agendas with Trump’s blissfully ignorant approval.

Once Dems retake the house, their momentum might be stalled with the extra scrutiny and oversight, so some of them may resign, cash in, and take their pardons on the way out the door.

The only casualties with any permanent negative consequences might be lawyers such as Habba and Halligan, who may be facing disbarment, which a pardon cannot protect them from.

And Kash Patel, who will likely lose his singing girlfriend, private jet, and no longer get comped at Vegas casinos, and will probably only find employment as a referee for women’s nude mud wrestling at some joint off the strip.
