Quote:(Reuters) - The U.S. Justice Department is investigating a potential crime related to funneling money to the White House in exchange for a presidential pardon, according to court documents unsealed in federal court.
U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell on Tuesday released a heavily redacted order that described what she called a “bribery-for-pardon” investigation.
About half of the 18-page document was blacked out, with the publicly available version providing few details of the alleged scheme, and naming none of the people potentially involved.
It said federal prosecutors in Washington said they had obtained evidence of a bribery scheme in which someone “would offer a substantial political contribution in exchange for a presidential pardon or reprieve of sentence.”
The order said prosecutors were also investigating a “secret lobbying scheme” in which two unidentified individuals “acted as lobbyists to senior White House officials, without complying with the registration requirement of the Lobbying Disclosure Act.”

Here we go again.... wasting taxpayer money.
Rudy is acting like he has one on layaway he has to finish paying off.
I guess Hunter Biden, Kerry's and Pelosi's sons forgot that Obama isn't president.

You realize that appears to be two completely unrelated investigations. The first would appear to involve people with no connection to the White House who were cooking up a scheme to bribe an official in exchange for a pardon. The other sounds like a nothing burger where somebody didnt properly file proper disclosures for what they apparently asked for (a donation). We now know from the NY Times editorial staff that "a senior White House official" can mean little more than a temporary consultant to an assistant of a cabinet member.
Fake News. Debunked by the DOJ.

Sounds like what I would expect from the AP/Rueters. No names, no sources. Anything on the Clinton Foundation?

The source for this being debunked is “an unnamed justice department official”
Don’t you guys ***** about unsourced news all the time?
Anyway, Rudy isn’t a government official...
The DOJ is rotten to the core.
Idiots.
Probably true. They can’t seem to find Durham or interview any of the hundreds of people swearing voter scams and fraud in affidavits because they are still to busy trying to get rid of Trump. Freaking scum bags.
