    Was there any mention of why Trump is not hiring any of the Ricochet team to work in the White House? John for AG or Solicitor general, Peter as some sort of policy advisor and James as press secretary.

    Speaking of historical pardons. Here is a photo of a copy of my great-great-great grandfather’s pardon from after the Civil War. He was an Irish immigrant and a grocer in Richmond VA who fought for the Confederacy. His son, my g-g-grandfather also fought after his father returned home after an injury.

    My g-g-grandfather had several other siblings, who settled in Kenosha Wisconsin. Several of those uncles fought for the Union, according to Ancestry.
