President Biden has bestowed the Presidential Citizens Medal on former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo) for "her selfless actions on behalf of our democracy. She was one of only two Republicans allowed to serve on the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol. She actively campaigned for the election of Vice-President Kamala Harris to be our nation's next president. The country is better because of her dedication and sacrifice."
"This is all very nice," Cheney responded, "but what I really need is the kind of full and unconditional pardon your son Hunter got. In just a few weeks Trump will be president. In his eyes, I'm guilty of abusing my position to aid and abet the lawfare meant to ruin him financially and put him in jail. He's not going to let me off just because I got a citizens medal."
"I hear ya, sister," Biden replied. "I may yet do that, but tempting Trump to invest his political capital in prosecuting you may be another sacrifice we'll have to make. Hunter brought in a lot of money for the family and may still bring in more if he's not in prison. Your ability to do anything of further value to me other than serve as a diversionary sacrificial lamb seems improbable."
"In a way, we're both victims of Attorney General Garland's laziness," the President added. "I wanted him to get Trump behind bars before the 2024 election, but he let things drag on for too long and now Trump not only isn't in jail, he'll be president on January 20. Garland also let his underlings prosecute Hunter when he could've just told them not to. He is the nation's top prosecutor. He has the discretion to cancel the prosecution of anyone."

Like oprah:
“You get a medal, and you get a medal, and you get a medal...”
This Deep State awarding itself medals is like woke Hollyweird awarding itself Oscars.
He is WAY too coherent.
