What lies does the woman convicted of grooming and abusing minors imagine she can tell that would "clear" Trump?

Is there a person on this planet that would hear this "offer" as anything except this:

I've got irrefutable proof of your crimes dear pedophile in chief, but am happy to keep it buried and lie if you pardon me.


The only thing that woman is capable of offering is proof that would convict him. Nothing she could possibly produce or say would "clear" him.

I almost hope the felon takes her up on it. I can't think of anything that would make his guilt more crystal clear to any idiot currently giving him the "benefit of the doubt" than that.

She's not a judge, a jury ... just a witness with an obvious predicament to solve.

No one else is offering to clear Trump's name, so she sort of, in a weird absurd way, has the ability to do what he wants.

Even though she is the worst of the worst and no one would believe her, in Trump's defective mind it probably makes sense the let her off the hook if she'll say nice things about him.

As I've said since 2015, each day with Trump is weirder than the day before. Without fail. This has been going on for almost 10 years now. You could even argue that it started when he got vocal about the Obama birth certificate nonsense.

He hasn't been criminally charged with anything. So she's essentially saying "I know what they're going to charge you with and I can help you out"

These people are all nutz

And I realize. It’s just the right amount to retain my sanity.

She can say he was there trying to save the girls or he just played golf - he can point to her words and spattle about how he’s “cleared” and absolutely everyone on this planet knows it’s all bullshit.
