This offense constitutes a state crime, which is unpardonable. If he is involved, he’s fucked.

I presume the investigation is still going on. Apparently 3 individuals are of interest for interviews.
I’ll bet Trump knows who at least one of them is. Clue - last name rhymes with Chump.

All joking aside, Malaria’s “transformation” of the Rose Garden is a true reflection of her: cold and colorless.
I do believe her “I really don’t care, do U?” jacket is going to remain the most memorable thing about her time of camping out in the White House.

It would seem taking the risk of doing this would require the person wanting the pardon to offer multiple millions of dollars. Many multiples. Trump can grift tens of millions through various garden variety calls to action directed at his base. As evidenced by his alleged need for money for legal fees to turn over the election. What would be the price for doing this? It boggles the mind there’s even a number worth the tradeoff of future exposure.

Exactly. He can’t resist blurting out, “I know something you don’t know. Nyah, nyah, na, nyah, nyah!”

I’ve always disputed on these threads that he’s suffering dementia onset. He’s simply just stupid! So stupid it appears demented.

Does not fit in the redaction space, and does not end in s. Eliminated.

My #1 guess is Roger Stone. He got his pardon just before sentencing. If memory serves, he did some time in jail, mostly for contempt of court by not keeping his mouth shut.
That or Julian Asange or Snowden. Both have been in exile and communicate only through attorneys.
What a great dead pool we have here!

Melania’s jacket will be the centerpiece of the Trump Presidential Library. What else will they have to display - his phone? what else?

“Pardon investigation is Fake News!” he tweeted.
It’s unclear whether Trump’s brief tweet is a denial of the probe’s existence as a whole or of the suspected activity being investigated.
Lending seriousness to an unhinged claim.

Presumably correct, but there is not actually any indication in the court’s opinion that anyone in the Whites Only House was ever told about the bribe, much less that the offer was ever accepted. Reading between the redactions, it seems to me that this was a conspiracy between 4 or 5 dirtbags to donate a bunch of campaign money, then ask for clemency with a wink-wink, nudge-nudge to the money as proof that the guy is a Friend of Don.
ETA: Or somewhat more likely, it was a conspiracy to promise a bunch of campaign money, with a wink-wink, nudge-nudge to the guy needing a pardon. Again, no indication in the court’s order that the wink-wink, nudge-nudge was ever delivered or accepted.

Remember WHEN this is alleged to have happened: Mid-August 2020.
At that time Trump was DESPERATE for Campaign Cash, having blown it all early in the year with his lawsuits and Nuremberg Rallies, and his big-bucks supporters were pulling back on donations, having seen how badly the campaign was wasting the cash and the extreme Grifting Trump was doing, stuffing as much of it as he could in his own pockets.
So, this kind of offer, at that specific time, seems entirely plausible.
My money is on Elliot Broidy also, as he was the Finance Director for the RNC in 2016, and a close friend and confidant of Trump for years, swapping Playboy Models with him, AND was implicated in the Epstein case too. He is facing a huge time in prison for financial crimes and Trump would be desperate to keep his mouth shut, especially in Mid-August when Biden was kicking his ass up and down the block.

It seems from the reports there are indications someone on staff or in Trump’s immediate inner circle was approached with the proposition. That’s solicitation of a crime. Being asked to explain why you didn’t report the solicitation of a crime would be an uncomfortable question to answer.

Stone’s name fits in the redaction space as the non-attorney fixer, and it would certainly fit his M.O. But he never spent more than a couple hours in jail before posting bond, and he certainly didn’t ever surrender himself to BOP.
Neither last name fits inside any of the last name redactions, nor do they end in s. Eliminated.

All I saw in the order was that the actors had connections to administration officials, not that they were actually solicited for anything.
