This could be enormous expansion of Jan 6th criminals - and an avenue for 1 or 2 Trumpomobsters to buy a valuable plea bargain (with LESS prison time, none of them walk)
Pardon Roulette !!! America's fastest-growing Quiz Sensation #PardonRoulette
Let's do brief Thread
Trump sold EVERYTHING. Including cabinet posts. We only 'know' of one, Ambassador Sondland (Impeachment 1) admitted he paid a million dollars to Trump for his appointment (yes that is a bribe, yes this too will be investigated in due time & Trump convicted)
What of pardons?
Bone Saw Boy told Jan 6th Committee testifying under oath, that he was busy arranging the pardons in January 2021. So we know Jared was personally involved
Now.. Jared seems like he has flipped, he did not plead 5th. and Jared is vulnerable in Tom Barrack extortion of Qatar etc
If Jared has flipped, and was wise (the two are not necessarily both true) he would confess all his crimes. And thus that Trump sold pardons
Even if Jared did not... we heard in Matt Gaetz teen rape investigation that Roger Stone was handling Matt's pardon request (for Trump)
Roger Stone was peddling Trump pardons. And what just happened to The Girl With The Nixon Tattoo? Roger's lover Alex Jones handed his phone messages to Sandy Hook attorneys. Including January 2021 when Roger was selling pardons. Oopsie? The love birds no doubt 'prayed' about this
Who else might be in rush to confess now? The twice-impeached former chair of the AGA, the American Gargoyle Association, Rep Paul Gosar (seen here smiling for cameras) was promising Trump pardons for PAST crimes to those who joined Jan 6th attempted coup d'etat. Arizona Asshole
Gosar was soon convinced he had committed federal crimes related to January 6th, so he asked also for a Presidential pardon for himself. The Patron of Pardons was not smiling for Gosar. So now he has no other recourse except to cut his prison time by flipping in Grand #Flippathon
There likely are others who also know of the Pardon-selling scheme. I have seen gossip about the crooked path to hell, Kellyanne Conway being involved too. Am not sure about her
But Trump would have documentation about the pardons he sold.. would keep in his SAFE.. Or did keep
It is NOT illegal to lobby for pardons
It is legal for Trump to take any payment for a pardon. Utterly totally completely corrupt
And gossip is, that Trump sold pardons. Price tag anywhere from half a million to two million dollars per pardon
Trump talked about pardons with everybody. With Bill Barr. With Giuliani. With Patsy Baloney. With Chris Christie
Bill Barr testified to Jan 6th & did not plead the 5th. Sounds like Barr has flipped
Pat Cipollone is cooperating with Feds now
Rudy was wiretapped since 2019
If Trump took bribes for handing out Presidential Pardons, Trump goes to prison for... I estimate (conservatively) 700 years federal without parole. He might not outlive that sentence
What happens to the pardoned? SCOTUS has to decide whether they go back inside.. :-)
