Fed and economy reporter with @reuters.com, ex-Wall Street Journal. Failed musician, guitar holdout, I really like pedals.
I’ve got hundreds of CDs and no idea what to do with them, outside of being confident I can’t get rid of them given how much money I spent in acquisition mode.

Though Trump’s pardons can’t extend to state crimes, I think it’s worth pointing out the message being conveyed:

Trump’s allies are alleged to have stolen data from state voting systems in an effort to help him overturn an election he lost.

Now he’s pardoning them for it.

But the pardon also extends to key figures who participated in the unauthorized breach of voting systems in Coffee County, Georgia
