I’m not seeing the evidence that you are claiming.

His pardon cracks me up. There’s little “law and order” logic to it.
And I know he’s basically guilty of the charges because i-errr… some close friends of mine…. Used his platform and got highly quality drugs

What you’re really asking is “why do some drugs work for me, while others don’t?”
