So let me get this straight. This guy was convicted 1987. In 2005, after apparently becoming an upstanding citizen, donating to Bachmann and other Republicans, Bachmann wrote a letter in support of a pardon.

Yep

What am I missing here?

That she withdrew the letter recommending a pardon at the first sign that he might not be the upstanding citizen she thought.

Horrific, isn't it? /s

I can’t say Bachmann is pure as the driven snow, but she’s one of the few people in Congress addressing issues that I care about. I haven’t caught her making mistakes. I’ve thought quite highly of her based on what I’ve seen of her.

She stood up for the Tea Party and either started a caucus for them or helped start one. If that’s someone’s idea of a flawed politician, I’d like a double serving.

This wreaks of gotcha politics, and I’m not too impressed.

I am shocked I tell you I am just shocked, a politician wrote a pardon request for someone out of jail and she did not have the good sense to look at a crystal ball to see if he may get in trouble again. Hell let’s horse whip her. What silly BS.
