(11,563 posts)How could he have kept this to himself until now? Also, I really HOPE it isn't him, because the whole project is doomed, if so.

(17,911 posts)This guy was doing it back in the 70's on a grand scale. Ray Blanton, better know as Pardon Me Ray. Lamar Alexander was sworn in and Pardon Me Ray was booted out of office early to staunch the damage. Luckily, the TN constitution didn't specify a date for the transfer of power. Nationally, we're not that lucky.

(86,525 posts)I don't think it any of the ones who already have some commutation. It could be Cohen because he wouldn't mind talking, I think. But there's someone under the radar, I think, who is worth a lot. Could be DeJoy since he can be pretty sure he's going to get nailed next year for is role, he's got a few pennies, or whatshisname the former Amb. to Europe, Sondland.

Breaking News: President Trump is said to have discussed with advisers whether to grant pre-emptive pardons to his three oldest children and Jared Kushner.
A pardon for Rudolph W. Giuliani, President Trumps lawyer, is certain to prompt accusations that Mr. Trump has used his power to obstruct investigations and insulate himself and his allies.
Giuliani Is Said to Have Discussed a Pardon With Trump
Their talks occurred as the presidents lawyer continued to loudly promote baseless claims of widespread election fraud that cost Mr. Trump the election.

(128,813 posts)after NY, in terms of having heard a low rumbling coming from there. Haven't heard a peep out of NJ but FL (particularly dealing with the issue of Mar-a-Lago and the "living arrangements" ) might be a surprise possibility.

They don't care what he sells. He's sold everything else, so why not pardons? Just business as usual to them.
