A top fundraiser for President Donald Trump and a lawyer for Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, are reportedly connected to the alleged scheme to offer a bribe in exchange for a presidential pardon.
I’m shocked! Mostly to hear Trump wasn’t involved! But that’s still a kind of shock!
So one could now assume that ANY pardons issued by Fat Nixon are very likely criminally tainted.
Not much of a stretch as far as assumptions go…
Not that it will prevent Fat Nixon from proceeding as usual…
Well, duh. Dark money SuperPACS exist for a reason…
Diller … passed away in February 2018 … Baras … was released from prison in August last year
And yet, the pardon scheme investigation happened this summer.
Something stinks.
Are they going to dig Diller up so they can have him deny everything? He was 90 and “died of natural causes” so I don’t suspect he was Epsteined to cover it up.
Agreed. Sounds like these names were thrown in to take the dogs off the scent.
Let’s not forget who Broidy is.
It is so hard to remember all the scandals, but why did he resign as RNC fund raiser?
Broidy, a Los Angeles-based investor, resigned from his RNC post in April 2018 in the wake of a report that he had paid a former Playboy model $1.6 million in exchange for her silence about a sexual affair. Trump’s personal attorney Michael Cohen — another RNC fundraiser — helped arrange the settlement, Broidy acknowledged at the time.
Elliot Broidy paid off his mistress for $1.6M and went to Michael Cohen for the agreements. Why Michael Cohen?, Because Michael Cohen had experience paying off women for his one client and the agreements Cohen crafted used the same pseudonyms that had been used for Trump agreements. Even without the rumors of Trump having had the affair with Bechard, this is simply amazing. And of course, the leftwing Wall St. Journal broke much of this story:
This is clearly just another example of the Deep State trying to make Trump look bad./s
Welcome to TPM.
This situation begs the question: Can someone be pardoned for taking part in a pardon-bribery scheme?
Only if they pardon the pardon of the pardon…
Ad nauseum…
The small print on every Presidential pardon:
Not applicable to state & local charges. Please consult your attorney for details.
Two stories: this story concerns a bribery-for-pardons scandal; the other story concerns Trump mulling around 20 pre-emptive pardons. These events represent Nixon and Reagan levels of criminality. With a net this wide, it strains credulity that Trump can avoid federal prosecution since he is at the center of it all.

What’s the term…the slang idiom…has something to do with…singing…???
Trump uses the power of the presidential pardon like hush money. The pardons have nothing to do with clemency or righting wrongs committed by the justice system. It’s all about staying out of prison, for him. I’ll bet you anything that he forces the recipients to sign an NDA.
wasn’t an instant investigation… the dribs and drabs required a judge to rule which attorney emails were subject to attorney/client privacy… the dribs and drabs came off the phones, ipads, thumb drives etc. when Broidy’s electronics were obtained from the drawers in the offices of his attoneys…
I didn’t want to go down a rabbit hole this early in the day, so thank you for answering my question about his death! You gotta wonder with these folks…
Another take on the story…
I’ve been saying all along that Broidy was invovled, and much more deeply that anyone has uncovered,…yet.
Broidy is also implicated deeply in the Epstein case(s) and swapped Playboy Models back and forth with Trump. He is alleged, by Cohen, to have “taken the rap” for getting one Playboy Model pregnant and paying for the abortion when in fact it was TRUMP who was the father.
This also pulls in, of all people, Sean Hannity, who Cohen has fingered as being “involved” in similar coverups and payoffs.
Broidy is the LAST person that Trump would want singing to the DA.
I hope he has a good “food taster”.
