Remember when the Republicans represented themselves as the "law and order" party. We all knew it was a lie, and now it seems like they do too.

It's a bipartisan enterprise. Remember the big donation to the Clinton Library, by Marc Rich's ex-wife, which was followed by a Presidential pardon for Marc? According to the net sifter, the "donation" was about $450K, but, allow for 25 years of inflation since then.

Steve...a pox on both their houses

With a mere $1 million in hand, you can indulge in whatever criminal escapade suits your fancy, confident that a Trump pardon will promptly follow.
For legal representation, might I suggest Pam Bondi’s brother? His client outcomes are nothing short of miraculous!

"President Trump granted a pardon to a billionaire felon, after the felon's company enriched Trump's family business.
The pardon went to Changpeng Zhao, a Chinese-born businessman, who was accused by the Justice Department of causing "Significant harm to U.S. national security."

"I’d devote every conscious moment of my life to railing against this incompetent carnival of corruption masquerading as governance...if Trump had the audacity to call himself a Democrat. Я люблю Трампа!" ~marco000

Isn't it $1 million just to gain entry by the appropriate lobbyist and then the bribe is on top of that? So you need $1 million plus? How do the lobbyists know about the arrangement? Bit we'll have the FBI focused on Trump's enemies. We're screwed on this it looks like. So is there anyplace in the Government we aren't hemorrhaging?

None that's apparent. It seems to be corruption and rot all the way down.

Corruption is democracy poison.
