paying of indulgences to the Don.

- 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:
It won’t be long before we start seeing pornos in which some very naughty girls offer the president (President Thrump perhaps?) something very special for a pardon.
