I have to ask why rudy wasn't on the pardon list. Is it that a preemptive pardon is not valid?

I would ask the same of the "family" left hanging out.

As an aside, my wife read something to me last night: "trump wanted to be the god father but never rose above a common goon."

I had the departure live streaming on one of my screens this morning---obviously there were a rash of RSVPs from those invited to the Whitehouse lawn to wave goodbye. The lack of participation might cause one to think trump wasn't held in high regard even by those who surrounded him---imagine that.
