'Fetterman Writes Letter Asking Israel's President to Pardon Netanyahu'

"Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) prepared a letter in recent days asking Israel’s president for a favor."

"In a previously unreported letter obtained by TPM, Fetterman asked Israel’s President Isaac Herzog to pardon Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu."

“ 'In a world this dangerous, I question whether any democracy can afford to have its head of government spending valuable hours, day after day, in a courtroom rather than the situation room,' Fetterman wrote in a copy of the letter, dated Dec. 2, obtained by TPM."

"Netanyahu formally asked Herzog for a pardon late last month."

rather than the situation room, it seems to me that the solution would be finding a different head of government, not letting a criminal head of government off the hook for his crimes.

I do not give him an out for his corruption and embrace of the GQP, as His Stroke affected his change of mind to snuggle up with MAGA. The STROKE that has gotten to him, is the STROKE of a billionaire’s pen to write him a BIGLY check to come on over to the right.
I have come to hate his NEW morals and ethics.
Bought and paid for. That will always be an issue when Dems put in a working man warrior that is not a multi millionaire to take on the Oligarchs. Just too hard for them to turn down MAGA cash, that can be hidden and untaxed.
So, fuck you sweatpants.
