1. Paul? Mike? Roger?

Or someone ELSE???

[Yogi]

31. Steve?

N/A

[eShirl]

43. Ghislaine Maxwell?

my first thought was Manafort though

[drray23]

2. wtf ? is that the bomb Barr came to drop in the white house today ?

maybe that was Barr's ace in the sleeve in case Trump tried to fuck with him...

[DownriverDem]

44. No Durham

appointed Special Counsel to investigate the origins of the Trump-Russia probe, granting him authority to complete the work without being easily fired by Biden. He was appointed last October.

[Blue Owl]

3. Some hot buttered popcorn sounds good right about now...

[underpants]

5. 🍿

6. OMGAWD........that is one big ass bag of popcorn.

[electric_blue68]

39. Bwah! 😂😂😂 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿

[Blue_true]

28. With a tad bit amount of powdered cheddar, yummy!!!

Great food and watching Trump go down the crapper, what could be better.

[Leghorn21]

4. Yes, popcorn goes *so* well with bribery, betrayal, under-the-bus tossing, fracturing,

implosions and various scandals and criminal behavior!!

NOMS!!

[Maraya1969]

7. I wonder if this would make the pardons unpardonable. (You know what I mean)

There has to be some way to deal with presidents selling pardons.

[Lars39]

11. Lamar Alexander was sworn in early because Governor Ray Blanton

was selling pardons

[TheRickles]

34. Presidents selling pardons is like Popes selling indulgences. Some things never change.

[WheelWalker]

42. On point.

Sweet! Next month we can act on it along with the million other crimes we've been waiting to investigate and indict! So much winning!

[rustysgurl]

9. Popcorn...Glass of wine...recliner ready. n/t

[TomDaisy]

10. what if Toensing and DiGenova are the two attorneys????????????????????????

[Ligyron]

13. You know somebody's fronting this operation...

...and it ain’t Trump.

Could be Ghouls too.

[BobTheSubgenius]

16. No, it sure ain't him...and I very much doubt it's Ghouls, either.

How could he have kept this to himself until now? Also, I really HOPE it isn't him, because the whole project is doomed, if so.

[paleotn]

12. And that's not even original....

This guy was doing it back in the 70's on a grand scale. Ray Blanton, better know as Pardon Me Ray. Lamar Alexander was sworn in and Pardon Me Ray was booted out of office early to staunch the damage. Luckily, the TN constitution didn't specify a date for the transfer of power. Nationally, we're not that lucky.

[Cha]

14. Rt! TY.. So Barr Is Investigating trump?!!

[2naSalit]

15. There's got to be someone we haven't thought of for a while...

I don't think it any of the ones who already have some commutation. It could be Cohen because he wouldn't mind talking, I think. But there's someone under the radar, I think, who is worth a lot. Could be DeJoy since he can be pretty sure he's going to get nailed next year for is role, he's got a few pennies, or whatshisname the former Amb. to Europe, Sondland.

[Captain Zero]

27. See if they've donated to a specific PAC

in the same amount.

[ancianita]

17. AND pardoning one's own children & lawyer is tantamount to nullifying the judiciary & rule of law.

Popcorn for weeks!!

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Better get some more because of this --

Breaking News: President Trump is said to have discussed with advisers whether to grant pre-emptive pardons to his three oldest children and Jared Kushner.
A pardon for Rudolph W. Giuliani, President Trump’s lawyer, is certain to prompt accusations that Mr. Trump has used his power to obstruct investigations and insulate himself and his allies.
Giuliani Is Said to Have Discussed a Pardon With Trump
Their talks occurred as the president’s lawyer continued to loudly promote baseless claims of widespread election fraud that cost Mr. Trump the election.

19. Stocking up here...

[BumRushDaShow]

20. I guess the night (or week) is still young!

[diva77]

23. I'll be dropping by when I'm finished with mine!

[BumRushDaShow]

24. Cheers!

[electric_blue68]

40. Omg! Bwaaahahahhaaa. 😂

[George II]

21. If true, I hope this prompts all the state Attorneys General to accelerate their subpoenas....

....and ultimate indictments.

[BumRushDaShow]

25. I hope so too

I expect that Letitia is ready.

[George II]

26. I believe she, of all AG, is frothing at the mouth. There's also New Jersey and Virginia....

...and possibly Florida, but I'm not holding out much hope for them.

[BumRushDaShow]

30. The stronger case might be in VA

after NY, in terms of having heard a low rumbling coming from there. Haven't heard a peep out of NJ but FL (particularly dealing with the issue of Mar-a-Lago and the "living arrangements" ) might be a surprise possibility.

[Blue_true]

33. Definitely NOT Florida. The AG here is a quiet one, but massive Trumper.

She wouldn’t touch a phony hair on his head.

[bdamomma]

38. Letitia

is ready, she will get him.

[electric_blue68]

41. We here in NYC...

are waiting with bated breath!

Go, AG Letticia James!

[George II]

22. One sidelight of what all this does is put the spotlight on just how corrupt this administration was

[OneGrassRoot]

29. Exactly. The fact that there are so many...

possibilities says everything.

[Blue_true]

36. Yep. Not that people like people here on DU didn't see that from Day 1. nt

[soldierant]

32. Just don't expect this to burst

the bubble of any Trump loyalist.

They don't care what he sells. He's sold everything else, so why not pardons? Just business as usual to them.

[Blue_true]

35. He tried to sell the country to Russia and 74 million of them still voted for him. nt

[soldierant]

37. Exactly. nt

[James48]

45. Goes to the WHITE HOUSE!
