(16,928 posts)Wonder if the smart ones here could answer this question? IF it's proven that he sold the pardons, CAN ANYTHING be done about it?
some of them will be those who could flip on him, but a lot of them will be, as you said, to piss people off, but more important will be the money deals he makes. There should be investigations into all of this pardons once we get a new AG.
