Former CIA Analyst: Trump Should Pardon Everybody

[edthecynic]

Analysis: More than 6,000 lobbyists have worked on taxes in 2017

Tax reform is taking over Washington, so much so that more than half of all registered lobbyists have disclosed working on the issue, according to an analysis from Public Citizen, a government watchdog group.

There are just under 11,000 active lobbyists in the nation's capital, according to data compiled by the Center for Responsive Politics (CRP), and more than half of them — 6,243 — have reported working on taxes this year, according to the report, which relies on CRP data.

Spread out over Capitol Hill, that means there are more than 11 lobbyists working on taxes for every member of Congress.

The reason he hasn't issued blanket pardons is simple: Eric Schneiderman. The NY AG can still come after him and anyone else in the syndicate for financial crimes. Schneiderman has been sharing resources with Mueller for three months now, likely to ensure the investigation doesn't die if Trump moves to take out Mueller.

One would think Flynn, Manafort, etc. would have learned from Trump's entire career. Loyalty is a one-way street, and anyone that trusts him gets made fall-guy. The class was offered at Trump University.
