The Argument Over the Statutory Authorization for F 16

I'm not personally persuaded by people who argue that there should be talk of prospective pardon right now before we go through the process. I do think these are serious offenses that he's been accused of. And most Republicans, including Republicans who are now dismissing them, would have thought they were serious offenses if this were a Democrat. So we should apply the law. The fact that what he did in his efforts to retain the documents is so clownish risks us not taking this as seriously as I think we should take it.
