Matt Gaetz asked Donny for a preemptive pardon in the waning days of Donny’s term.

Based on all that’s coming out, it seems like everyone in the GOP knew that Gaetz was destined to go down in flames and they just tried to keep their distance.

Barr avoided him and the investigation started under him.

If that is true then the rate should be falling. Nobody polishes their runners? Who has clothes that need dry cleaning? The floor covering of choice right now is hardwood or composite. None of those three things would be growing.

Update: In a carefully worded statement, Donny says Gaetz never personally asked Donny for a pardon.

(Gaetz floated the idea to people close to Donny).

this must be a case of watching news sources I never tune into. Who in the hell is keeping up with zoo directors? Good Morning America type shows? That would explain why your post seems so bizarre to me.

I have no intention of looking up what the fooie Jack Hanna is about.

Agree. Did he do something special with zoos? Like pioneered getting rid of cages? Otherwise why would anyone notice?

He was a Johnny Carson regular feature. And later Joan Embry. And before that the guys from Wild Kingdom. Though I’m not sure if the Wild Kingdom guys brought on animals.

No one complained when I posted a saved by a bell character Dustin Diamond had cancer. What he do? He was just in my trivia bin.
