Justice Department investigating potential presidential pardon bribery scheme, court records reveal
CNN ^ | December 1, 2020 | Katelyn Polantz

The Justice Department is investigating a potential crime related to funneling money to the White House or related political committee in exchange for a presidential pardon, according to court records unsealed Tuesday in federal court.

The case is the latest legal twist in the waning days of President Donald Trump's administration after several of his top advisers have been convicted of federal criminal charges and as the possibility rises of Trump giving pardons to those who've been loyal to him.

The disclosure is in 20 pages of partially redacted documents made public by the DC District Court on Tuesday afternoon. The records show Chief Judge Beryl Howell's review in August of a request from prosecutors to access documents obtained in a search as part of a bribery-for-pardon investigation.

Attorney-advocate sounds like Rudy. Maybe Sidney Powell.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Trump had offered to help restore Flynn’s financials and that was construed as bribing Flynn to be pardoned.

Yep, and the fact that it is redacted makes me think it is Rudy.

I dont think sidney powell is that stupid...although it would explain disassociating from her.

If true, it most certainly was someone who sold the idea to a fool, believing they could tell Donald whom to pardon. Bad bet.

Except for the August timing...I fear someone is creating a story about General Flynn and Sidney Powell providing legal counsel in advocacy of Trump.

yes, but Flynn has no money.

Although, what you are saying would dovetail with the person who needed a pardon and who got a pardon.

“Anyone remember Hunter?”


Hunter? Hunter who? Oh, you mean Hunter Biden, Joe Biden’s only surviving son? What about him? I hear he’s living in the L.A. area now with a new wife. Anyway what possible connection could there be between Hunter Biden and this story? /s
