      You’re suggesting he’d grant her clemency so that she can honestly confess against him?

      I know Trump is dump but still.

      The more likely scenario is that behind the scenes she promises to make Trump look good in her confessions if he grant her clemency. A Win-Win situation for them

        She’s already promised to make him look good in front of the scenes.

        Isn’t that usually how plea deals work? Reduced or eliminated punishment so you can flip them to get a bigger fish?

          No, because usually the one on the side of the prosecution offering the plea deal isn’t also the bigger fish.

      Don’t be obtuse, she’s been meeting with his lawyers, this is all bullshit. She’s going to lie and “exonerate” him in exchange for a pardon. We’ve all seen where this is going.
