Selling Pardons Is Bribery! Investigate Now!

This is a constitutional emergency. There are serious, credible allegations that President Donald Trump has sold presidential pardons — offering or granting freedom from prosecution in exchange for money, loyalty, political favors, or silence. If even one of these allegations is true, it constitutes bribery, obstruction of justice, and a blatant abuse of power. Congress does not get to hesitate here. The presidential pardon power is not a personal commodity. It is not a campaign perk. It is not a loyalty reward system. Turning it into one is the functional equivalent of placing the justice system on the auction block — where accountability goes to the highest bidder and consequences are optional for the powerful. If pardons were brokered through donors, fundraisers, lawyers, or intermediaries — if money changed hands, directly or indirectly — then the presidency itself has been corrupted. Your responsibility is clear and unavoidable. You must immediately: • Open a full congressional investigation • Subpoena financial records, communications, and intermediaries • Examine campaign and personal financial benefit • Determine whether pardons were exchanged for money, favors, or silence • Refer criminal findings where appropriate • Use impeachment authority if abuse of power is confirmed Failure to do this is not caution. It is dereliction of duty. Do not insult the public by pretending this is “political.” Corruption does not become acceptable because it wears a red or blue jersey. If Congress will not investigate credible allegations of presidential bribery, then oversight is a fiction and the Constitution is a prop. Every future president is watching to see whether selling justice carries consequences — or whether Congress will once again choose fear and convenience over law. If these allegations are false, an investigation will expose that. If they are true, and you fail to act, then Congress itself becomes complicit in the collapse of the rule of law. Investigate. Subpoena. Follow the money. Put the truth on the public record. Anything less is surrender.
