    a federal pardon by the diaper only moves his residence from a federal facility in arkansas back to a state facility in minnesota–where he does not want to be, as he’s sure to run into inmates he uh… has ‘previously met’. that may have been a factor in his decision to plead guilty to the federal civil rights charges–so most or all his time served ends up in federal custody instead.

      This is a distraction by Musk to pump the outrage-meter while he keeps on breaking shit. He doesn’t really care about Chauvin except as a fellow fascist.
