Not to dive too deep into the minutia here; but 'target' and 'subject' have two different meanings in the context of these investigations.
I don't think DJT understands the difference so I won't bother diving into it, though.

Meantime in NZ, we have a pregnant unmarried Prime Minister, and there aren't legions of people lined up around the block to frown at her.
We elected an unwed female atheist a while back ...
...and now: DJT considering "full" pardon of Jack Johnson (convicted in the Jim Crow era by an all-white jury, and also, he's dead). Reportedly per a suggestion by Sylvester Stallone.
Now, as batshit crazy as this is, it leads me to two hypotheses:
1: Stallone is a Trump supporter, which saddens me immensely. After all, all he wanted was something to eat.
2: Stallone is more intelligent than Trump, and he's playing him, to see if he's actually cracked enough to posthumously pardon someone, merely on a suggestion of a celebrity.
Either way, it's yet another step (jump) down the uncharted path of "rules don't apply anymore". I wonder how long until he gives him self a national holiday. Except that it's only observed by DC and corporation execs. Everybody else works for no pay.
To be fair, there have been calls to pardon Johnson for a long time.

I'm still surprised that they haven't found anything to pin on DJT yet...
But, it's not like Pence would be a better option. 😢
Pence could possibly be worse... The GOP loves him, whereas they "only" put up with Trump. Pence could probably push some very backwards stuff through.
Pence is a fucking crackpot.
BUt, again, I don't think he'd be as bad, internationally, as DJT. We'd just be fucked backwards domestically.
