It's dumber than that...
He went thru Jacob Wahl and some other grifter.
When reporters ask the White House, the spokesperson said they'd never seen anything about it, and if they had Jacob Wahl's name on it would pretty much make sure it didn't happen anyways.
Boozie bribed someone not connected to trump for a trump pardon, that company went bankrupt, so now he's sueing.
Holy shit does Tom Hanks look young in that now.
I met someone from the same region as that kid. Quick movie fact before continuing my story: the accent Tom Hanks used Forrest Gump is that kid's natural accent. T.Hanks decided it was just too interesting to let go to waste.
The person from that same region was something like a sensitivity officer (I forget his actual title, this was ages ago). Essentially, an employee at the school where I worked tried to make a joke to some kids that was (unintentionally) so offensive that the parents of the students sued. Part of the SOP in a case like this is that the entire campus staff has to attend a sensitivity training. And the person training us talked like Forrest Gump. He was well aware that his region is pretty remote and most people don't realize that this was a real accent, so he spent the first few minutes of his presentation explaining all this to us, and letting us acclimate to the situation. Two things I can say after that presentation:
- I was really grateful for the presentation. The guy did a great job communicating that not everyone has your context, and they shouldn't have to listen to you explaining your context. If you made them feel like a victim, forcing them to understand why they shouldn't be offended wastes their time and makes them feel bad for being offended. Either hurt their feelings once and apologize, or accept that you were wrong; don't hurt their feelings a second time for your own benefit. If you're not an asshole about it, they might even ask for your context and then you'll both walk away as winners.
- Tom Hanks did an excellent job with that accent work.
Uhhh, that’s not Tom Hanks… or is that the joke?
🙃
Doosie Dumbazz
"sueing"
None of that is good, but let’s not forget that a president of the United States is selling pardons AND being more corrupt about it than at its baseline.
As such, anything that documents this crap is not a bad thing. Let the man sue and create a paper trail.
I hope I ever again feel like corruption is seen as universally a bad thing... The trump era broke me.
Remember it's not a bribe according to the Supreme Court. It was a preemptive gratuity for getting a pardon.
Now the Vance Catholic connection makes sense.
Indulgences are back on the menu boys!
Yeah doesn't everyone tip their elected officials after they do something they like?
Then we all shouldn't be paying sales tax, it's just a preemtive gratuity for getting goods I guess?
Goddamn it I hate finding out about news from memes lol.
Between September and January, Burkman and Wohl repeatedly invoked their association with far-right activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer in text messages with Blanco, Boosie’s lawyer. Wohl said that Loomer helped with the Schwartz pardon and that she could help with Boosie’s application. They said they proposed that Loomer ask Natalie Harp, the president’s executive assistant, to physically bring the application to Trump. Burkman and Wohl repeatedly invoked their association with far-right activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer in text messages with Boosie’s lawyer.
Several days after Jan. 1, Blanco asked if Loomer could help, to which Wohl responded that he tried to send the “rapper batch” of pardons “through the black world,” and said Loomer “is the person for the Jewish guys.”
I concur. There's so much stupidity around the globe that it's easy to miss many things.
This presidency is more racist than Andrew Jackson's administration, what were you expecting homie?
Was Nikki Minaj ever successful in getting her green card or her pedo husband pardoned or whatever she was trying to do?
She was trying to get her cousins balls fixed
He's not racist, there's a colored fella in the SCOTUS, oNe Of ThE gOoD oNeS
/S in case it's not obvious enough
At least he's not committing a genoci- wait...
It’s wild that someone looking to circumvent the law with a bribe is trying the use the law to enforce circumventing the law.
Like calling the cops because somebody stole all your money and cocaine when you were slinging rock on the street corner.
He's not even asking for all his money back, he's only seeking half of what he paid.
So this law firm gets to get $300k for doing absolutely nothing.... Must be nice...
After socioeconomic norms have been obliterated we suddenly expect them to function when we want to transact?
And this is why bribable, self-dealing politicians are bad for business in general. While a few mega-conglomerates and billionaires at the top can get political favors (and have recourse when they're not forthcoming) the rest of the businesses are really looking for a clime with consistent laws that are evenly enforced.
The corruption isn't a feature of the system, it's a sickness, and explains why thr antebellum South and the Jim Crow South were underdeveloped compared to its northern counterparts.
The corruption isn't a feature of the system, it's a sickness
The system is a sickness, of which corruption is a symptom.
Electrolytes!
Seems like admitting bribery to me...
