It's becoming increasingly clear that 2019 is shaping up to be all about getting Trump impeached. He will not be removed from office, though, just as Bill Clinton was not removed. So what's the point?
The always entertaining Kurt Schlichter has the solution:
This is all a lie and a scam. And Donald Trump can and should use his pardon power to highlight this fraud before he drives a stake into the heart of the elite’s soft coup play.
He should pardon everyone.
I mean everyone.
Pardon Flynn, and Manafort, and Papadopliswhateverhisnameis. Pardon Stone and Corsi. Pardon Don, Jr., Jared, and Ivanka. Pardon Melania and Barron. Pardon Pence, and Pence’s pets. And then he should pardon himself.
For everything. Take it all off the table. Strip the elite of its ability to coerce perjury and ruin lives for the sin of dissenting.
Pardon everyone, for everything.
It’s all a lie and a scam anyway, and there’s no sense pretending this is all some kind of legit truth-seeking exercise in support of lofty and noble principles. It’s a tawdry frame job by a failed elite desperate to hold on to the power that the people revoked in November 2016. We owe the ruling class no respect; there’s no reason to pretend this Mueller farce is anything but a transparent attempt to claw-back the authority the elite forfeited by being terrible.We have more important things to do than play this game. Time to clear the chessboard.

Pardoning folks is great. But then there's the flip side of the coin. I want some people to grow old in jail. Specifically those who have abused power: Comey, Mueller, McCabe. Are we a nation with rule of law or not. The answer right now seems to be a resounding, "NO." I'd like that to change. If that doesn't change, then I want my side to win the war. This middle ground wherein we pretend that we're following laws and we pretend that we're seeking justice? It's poisonous.
W.B., as Steve Tyler sings beautifully, "Dream on". No? I'm praying for precisely the same, but outside God's mercy to us all, we are not going to have an ethical DOJ/FBI that will do this.
If those in public "service" can't be bothered to strive for the rule of law, not even now that society is beginning to fray, then I hope the worst for them. May they reap what they have sown.
This would be a very Trump thing to do.
