Jack Danforth Will Never Forgive Missouri Senator Josh Hawley

I'm not sure anybody was asking for pardon . . . Still, a Republican stalwart and statesman of the past is still giving interviews.

The upshot: 

Apparently, his opinion of the current Senator THAT HE SUPPORTED hasn't improved. 

Here's the word . . .

"U.S. Senator Jack Danforth (R-Missouri). Danforth filed a legal brief with a U.S. Supreme Court warning justices not to grant Trump immunity because the precedent might invite a usurper's military coup in the future.

"Danforth had previously expressed concerns about the precedent it might set for the federal government to prosecute an outgoing president.

" 'What bothers me is the notion that one party comes in power and prosecutes the other party,' Danforth told 5 On Your Side back in July of 2022. "I don't know, maybe it's called for in this case."

"Whatever reservations he had at the time appear to have dissipated as he now strongly urges the Supreme Court against shielding Trump from criminal charges.

"Danforth said he wants to see consequences for the conspirators of the Jan. 6 attempt to obstruct the certification of the 2020 election results. During an interview on 'The Record,' Danforth said he hopes voters ultimately hold Senator Josh Hawley (R-Missouri) responsible for his role in the events around that day, too.

"Danforth, a former Missouri Attorney General, now regrets his past support of Hawley, and said his actions leading up to Jan. 6 were 'unforgivable.' "
