It seems that I am not the only person who saw this news and laughed...it is so Trumpian, to go for the grift, pay off the grifters, get stiffed, and then, really, have no place to go to complain because grifting, I am told, is against the law. To pay for a pardon from a conviction...has to be somehow illegal. That would make the law, gasp, to have two sides, one for the rich and one for the poor.
Honestly, I am surprised at the show of courage and respect for those who watch their channels.
