There is discussion that President Trump may issue a pardon to Jack Johnson. For those who don't know, Johnson is a former champion heavy weight fighter who was convicted of criminal acts long ago. Many believe that his conviction was the result of Johnson's violating the norms of his day by being a black man dating white women. The move to pardon Johnson began in 2004 and was pushed mainly by senators McCain and Reid. They argued that the pardon would erase a historical misdeed.
Here's why that is all relevant. Don Lemon, the most idiotic host on CNN, actually ran a segment on his show discussing whether a pardon of Johnson would be a signal by President Trump to Michael Cohen and others not to "flip". The panel discussed this for about five minutes.
Think about that. Lemon is considering if a posthumous pardon (yeah, Johnson died many decades ago) to an historical figure being pushed by a bipartisan coalition is actually just a "signal" in the ongoing Russia-Trump investigation. How dumb is that? Imagine Michael Cohen sitting at home thinking "I better not flip. President Trump will pardon me fifty years after I'm dead."
Lemon, of course, is the host who four years ago wondered if the missing Malaysian airliner was sucked into a black hole. That question demonstrated that Lemon didn't understand physics or even know what a black hole actually is. He hasn't learned much since.
