The New York Republican Party late Monday night decried President Donald Trump’s potential plans to pardon former state Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver (D), who is currently serving a prison sentence for corruption.
“People who say Trump has no empathy are wrong. He has the utmost empathy for degenerate, corrupt, disgraced politicians who perhaps remind him of himself,” Bharara tweeted.
I’m not sure about “utmost,” but, he sure identifies with these people.
“Silver deserves to actually serve the jail time that he was sentenced for selling the incredible power he yielded to enrich himself. He was a corrupt and dishonest politician.”
I think two million is the asking price. Though something tells me that Jarad had something to do with this. Trump will use this to claim that he is bipartisan, although he will do more for Republicans.
Someone last night claimed Laurence Tribe said that some of the pardons can remained sealed. They would remain so until the party was indicted for a crime??? Seems bizarre if true.
