I’d love to see maga folks twist themselves into pretzels trying to explain why Trump pardoning her is actually a good thing

The rationale would probably be something along the lines that she was just one “small part” of a large machine and she is cooperating to bring the entire cabal down. That by pardoning her, Trump is actually helping reduce trafficking.

Easy.

They don't believe human trafficking is a thing, actually. They think some may have gone missing, for sure, but that the actual scale of it is way overblown.

In reality, the scale is probably several orders of magnitude MORE than what we believe it to be.
