I thought the payment starts long before the need is required… sort of like insurance?

“Remember that $500,000 donation I made to your re-election campaign? Well… guess what?”

Call me cynical, but every federal investigation started before Jan 21 can end with a pardon.

Maybe Ghislaine Maxwell? She has at least $20-million in the bank and is an old pal of Il Douche.

Do any of these (heavily redacted) documents specify that the investigation is regarding pardons issued by Trump? My money is on them trying to smear Obama or Clinton to foster the “every President does this” trope.

What keeps happening? There’s definitely something consistently wrong when you post stuff, not trying to be rude. Wish someone would help you figure it out.

Biden will need 4 years of professional fumigation 24/7 to even cut the stink in half in the white house. If he’s lucky!

  2. It ends in an “s” (note use of possessive apostrophe)

My money is on Rick Gates. I just plugged his name in a couple of the redacted parts and it seems to fit:
