Read Trump Allies Don’t See “Three-Dimensional Chess” In Dinesh D’Souza’s Pardon by Tarini Parti, Chris Geidner (BuzzFeed)

President Donald Trump's announcement that he was pardoning far-right commentator Dinesh D'Souza, who pleaded guilty in 2014 to campaign finance fraud, caught many in Trump world by surprise Thursday morning, but they insisted it was not indicative of possible pardons for Trump allies ensnared in the Russia probe.

The former official said he doesn’t think Trump is playing “the sort of three-dimensional chess people ascribe to decisions like this. More often than not he’s just eating the pieces.”

This certainly gets the prize for the quote of the year concerning Donald Trump.
