What is it with him and this guy? Is it just the celebrity apprentice thing? Is it setting up a precedence he can use later? He certainly can’t think it helps him with Illinois voters.

[Norah]

They're buddies and he legitimately operates under the belief that corruption is just how things are done.

[Simple Torture]

Also don't underestimate the fact that he was put away for trying to sell off Obama's senate seat.

"I don't know him very well, I met him a couple of times, he was on for a short time on 'The Apprentice' years ago, seemed like a very nice person, don't know him, but he served eight years in jail, there's a long time to go."

Seems solid.

He's never going to win Illinois because Chicago hates his fucking guts and he knows it. This is his way of flipping us the bird.

Absolutely.

is his plan to make everyone in the DOJ with a spine quit so that they don't have enough employees left to eventually go after him and his?

Trump also announced pardons for former New York police commissioner Bernie Kerik, convicted of tax fraud and lying to officials; Mike Milken, an investment banker known as the "Junk Bond King" who was convicted of felony charges that included securities fraud and conspiracy; and Eddie DeBartolo Jr., the former owner of the San Francisco 49ers who pleaded guilty in 1998 to failing to report a felony in a bribery case.

he'll just pardon stone immediately, right?

Donald Trump withheld money from Ukraine because he cares about corruption. It’s one of his signature platforms.

I'll let someone else work out the legal mumbo-jumbo, but basically commutations offer better protection than pardons if you're trying to be as corrupt as possible. You can't plead the 5th if you're questioned under oath for something you've been pardoned for, is what I understand.

loads of people reporting on this, this is just the first one I saw on my feed when I wanted to post.

uh...

but that's all before Susan Collins taught him his lesson with impeachment.
