If the list comes out, the client list, and Trumps was on it.... he would be the only name on it. Bank on it.

LOL Yup, it would have been leaked.

He gave himself a pass. Little doubt that it wouldn't have been released otherwise.

I doubt he gave himself. No way BidenCo sat on that bit of info. More likely "they" realize it's a incredibly valuable list as long as it's behind closed doors.

Corrupt Donald Trump. Again.....all I can do is shake my head when MAGA people talk about law and order. It's total hypocrisy to (claim to) care about the law and support Diaper Don at the same time.

Trevor Milton​

The president pardoned Trevor Milton, the founder of electric vehicle start-up Nikola, in March, who had been sentenced to four years in prison for fraud but remained free pending an appeal.

Prosecutors said that Milton had engaged in a scheme to defraud investors, and he was convicted of two counts of wire fraud and one count of securities fraud.

Paul Walczak​

In April, Trump pardoned Paul Walczak, a former nursing home executive convicted of misappropriating over $10 million in employment taxes for personal luxury spending.

The pardon came after lobbying efforts by his mother, Elizabeth Fago, a significant Trump donor. Trump's decision was announced less than three weeks after Fago attended a $1 million-per-person fundraising dinner at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.

Full list of Donald Trump pardons during his second term

President Donald Trump has issued a sweeping series of second-term pardons as part of his ongoing campaign against what he calls a politicized justice system.

"Selling pardons" is nothing new. Remember when Bush Jr sold Marc Rich a pardon?

What exactly did he get in return for the pardon? It's been made clear that pardons from Trump are for sale. Along with crypto schemes, NFTs, shoes, fragrances, and all other sorts of things from the grifter-in-chief.

Now the left is against Capitalism... unless it's insider trading of course.

ME, nothing... What, I didn't say anything... The left is 100% ethical and moral.

Now the right is against the constitution. Look up the emoluments clause.

How does that change the fact that he's basically been selling pardons? And what about the rest of the dogshit he's been personally hucking? I mean....this was from about two whole weeks ago:

The level of grift from this guy goes way beyond parody. I don't even know where The Onion goes from here.....since their level of satire has become reality.....and a decent portion of the country seems to want to think it's normal.

Honestly, I don't give two wet shits what you ******* think about Trump in the least. Not when I hear you crying about illegals being deported and about not having a problem with attempted murder of police officers.
