Kwame Kilpatrick Pardon

Post by moldyoldie » Wed Jan 20, 2021 7:10 am

I first heard about this on CNBC early this morning about 5:00am. I tuned into FOX 2 at about 6:00 to get the local story -- NOT A WORD FOR AN ENTIRE HALF-HOUR! :shock: My goodness, shouldn't this be the top all-consuming story? Did FOX 2 not get the news?

I finally tuned to WDIV 4; they were airing a well-produced timeline of his entire political career and subsequent legal problems.

Commutation, not pardon.

Fox 2's newscasts other than the 5PM have been garbage for awhile.

Their sports director is a pathetic mouthpiece for the Lions.


Morgan Wallen is a piece of garbage.

Do you really think the Lions radio announcer is going to trash them when he’s not calling their games?

Did a member of Kilpatrick's inner circle bribe a member of Trump's legal team? I am not ruling out that possibility.

I believe the going rate was $2 million.

What would they bribe him with??

They've been lobbying Trump for years now on this, so I'm not entirely surprised Kwame's case got considered.

Money, of course.

I do agree with your second point.

No one will know the amount but a banker in the Cayman Islands, Trump's money man and Kilpatrick's money man.
