46. Neither of them have the cash for that

So who does? Who has been pardoned?

My guess is that Rudy was the front man to sell pardons for Trump. It could also be one of the kids. But this seems like Rudy territory. Rudy would have those connections.

Maybe that's why we've had all of these desperate legal challenges to the election. Because they were tipped off that there was an investigation. Trump winning is the only way to make this not matter.
