Sources advise the Thanksgiving turkey for the traditional White House meal will not be pardoned, as it’s been exposed as a key player in the Democrat Russia-collusion hoax.

The turkey, code-named Ivan, was not available for comment.

Time to cook that turkey, along with the collusion hoax.

UPDATE: Last minute changes result in Ivan going to Siberia for the winter, replaced by stand-in turkey named Peas, who allegedly had nothing to do with collusion-hoax. The President was thus able to extend long-honored WH turkey-pardon tradition.

(We can’t confirm or deny if Ninth Circuit is trying to overturn the presidential pardon)
