I’m not a betting man. The last big bet (for me, that is) I wagered was in January 1969 when I gave the New York Jets and 19 points against my beloved Baltimore Colts. Nineteen points, by the way is what the oddsmakers were giving, so I went with the pros. Turns out the Jets didn’t need any of those points. Final score: Jets 16, Colts 7 and I was out $20, a considerable sum for me at the time.

Thus, lesson learned. Until now, that is.

I’m about to stick my neck out again, though I’m not giving odds or points this time.

News broke this morning that the FBI has ARRESTED A SUSPECT in its investigation into the planting of pipe bombs near the national headquarters of the Republican and Democratic headquarters in Washington on Jan. 5, 2021 in the mashup to the Jan. 6 Capitol riots.

Kudos to the FBI—it took only three years and 338 days to make the pinch of one Brian Cole, age and address unavailable as this is being written.

Here’s my bet:

Our Dear Leader, the Mango Mussolini, aka Agent Orange, aka PEDO-POTUS, will grant a full pardon, proclaiming the investigation and subsequent criminal charges to be a sham, an attempt to embarrass him and a horrific persecution of a fine patriot.

I mean, if he can pardon other Jan. 6 rioters, embezzlers, con artists, fraudsters and drug dealers, what’s a little pipe bomb.

This is a buffoon who likes to second-guess judges, juries, prosecutors, law enforcement officials and evidence in issuing wholesale pardons and commutation of sentences so, what’s to stop him from setting another one free while he simultaneously carries out his law-and-order crusade in America’s cities with indiscriminate arrests and combats drug smuggling in Venezuela by murdering men in international waters?

Any takers on my bet?
