more Giuliani re pardon:
“Everybody in Washington wants to make me a liar and a crook, and I’m not. But I know I have to protect myself. Now, I could’ve asked for a pardon for a very good reason, because I don’t want to get framed. I know I didn’t do anything wrong. I know I don't act like they do," Rudy said on his Common Sense podcast, referring to Representatives Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) and Adam Schiff (D-California). "I don’t lie like Raskin and Schiff."

A noodler has been arrested on a murder complaint after he confessed to killing another fisherman for trying to feed him to Bigfoot along a river in southeast Oklahoma, an OSBI agent reported.
"LARRY advised he believed JIMMY was trying to get away from him so that the sasquatch could eat LARRY,"
First thing about this strange story, what's a noodler you I ask.
The Urban Dictionary comes up with a rather unlikely definition given that the names look to be male:

"If the fish is large enough, the noodler can hook his or her hand around the fish's gills, then you yank out your arm."
"Usually a noodler has at least one spotter who helps bring in the fish, which seems like cheating but apparently isn't."
Now on to the rest of the story: I can see why LARRY would want to kill JIMMY . In a case like this Stand your Ground and Self Defense seem reasonable!
Noodling. Bigfoot. Meth. Murder. No, that's not the sub-plot to the next season of Tiger King. It's a real-life murder non-mystery unfolding in Southeastern Oklahoma! As you may have seen or heard, Larry Doil Sanders - a methhead from Atwood - admitted to killing his noodling buddy Jimmy Glenn Knighten along the banks of the [...]
