But why? Like, I know the reason, but has Trump completely dropped any pretence that Rule of Law exists in the US? Kidnapping is now protected speech, but only if your target is a liberal?

If he pardons these guys, then it is not hyperbole to say that democracy is over in the United States and Americans no longer inhabit a free country.
