Who might this Jessiah Eberlin be? Never heard of him. He doesn't list any credentials anywhere, and doesn't really even reveal his last name on YouTube.

So, do we believe him? If so, on what basis?

Sorry, but I grow weary.

That radius appears to be expanding as the president repeats the line. Another person who met with Trump earlier this year said the president quipped about pardoning

That's all I could get without paying.
