Pardon brokers? That's a job? It sounds like the answer to the question "how do you know when your justice system is fucked"

It's a scam.

They scammed Boosie a while back for like $600k, but he's a scumbag so fuck him lol.

in this case it is a scam but looks like this is a real thing:

Among their clients was Joseph Schwartz, a nursing home operator convicted of tax evasion in April 2025. Schwartz paid Wohl and Burkman $960,000, although a White House official said that no one at the White House had spoken with either Wohl or Burkman about Schwartz's case. Schwartz terminated their services, and later secured a pardon after enlisting another lobbying firm

Sure, Trump is selling pardons, just not through those two morons.

They're just running con jobs on particularly dumb and cheap scumbags.

In the Epstein Empire, the elite class can buy pardons from inner party members
