As early as August, the DOJ had been investigating the White House in an alleged bribery for pardon scheme.
Barr needs to be canned, like yesterday!
I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns out to be the reason Barr turned Durham into a special counsel. Not to investigate the deep state crimes he clearly already whitewashed but rather to investigate Trump. And Biden can say ‘hey, I didn’t appoint him. But I can’t interfere with an ongoing investigation now ...’

More on @MSNBC: The pardon investigation may involve at least two individuals who “acted as lobbyists to senior White House officials, without complying with the registration requirement of the Lobbying Disclosure Act … to secure a pardon or reprieve of sentence for REDACTED.”
Rummy bribery for pardon? Seriously? This is from a galaxy far, far away.
they are hot and heavy about lobbying without registering..which is what hunter biden did..but of course we know this isnt about Biden
and btw, this reads to me like it might involve Kushner..but I am jaded about him so my read could be off.
So you have to register as a lobbyist in order to request a pardon? Sounds like a technicality.
LOL. A billionaire is risking all to sell pardons. LOL. Pull the other one.
I have no clue.
And so much is redacted it is hard to see what went on with this.
Suspicious of Giuliani? Most stupid post EVER written on FR.
You’ve been on FR a week. and this is weak.
This is Donald Trump you think a fake story is going to keep him from pardoning people? I wait for the reasoning behind the pardon of Oscar Lopez Rivera first
“this is a real court case”
So what? It’s nonsense to distract you from the events at hand and undermine your faith in Trump. We are in the middle of a hot coup. Suddenly this fool shows up pushing pardon selling at the Whitehouse. C’mon!
Axios supposedly has a story that pardons were being offered, not purchased.....something to do with immigration.
I suspect they’re trying to discredit Guiliani for offering a pardon. Or Powell (unlikely)
Details will show it’s probably a fake news smear.
The Axios site shows nothing about it.
No way is Trump needing or wanting to take petty bribes for pardons.
Besides, Susan B. Anthony does not have the kind of money to afford to pay bribes in exchange for pardons.
FWIW, below is a DOJ list of all pardons by President Trump. Most seem to be in the interest of justice or righting an injustice. Not many seem to have even the. remote possibility of being a Clinton Mark Rich style pardon for profit scheme. Most people pardoned don't appear to have a lot of money or deep pocket benefactors to underwrite a proper bribe. My bet is some POS dirt bag is trying to manufacture a paper trail to frame some one in the Trump Administration just like Amb Bill Taylor tried to put words into Gordon Sondlond's mouth about the Zelensky call to manufacture an impeachment case against President Trump

Barr could defuse this whole thing by making a simple statement: “I want the record to be clear, the DOJ is merely investigating alleged misconduct by low-level staffers. We have neither seen, nor are investigating, any malfeasance by the person of the POTUS.”
And that would be the end of that.
But Bill (”no evidence of election fraud”) Barr will not do that. He will make a muted statement: “We do not comment on active investigations.”
And this will be only add fuel to the fire.
I don’t think it will stop him, but I think they hope it will. They have done everything they can to stop him from getting anything accomplished.
Why are you here?
Giuliani’s litigation failed.
Powell’s did not.
Those are publicly verifiable facts.
