3. Seriously? She's signaled a willingness to lie under oath in exchange for a pardon?

Fascinating. Trump is being given a Mafia-type deal: "free me or I'll squeal."

She is telling Trump that if he wants her silence, he must pardon her. Sorta makes ya think "silence about what?" doesn't it? So if Trump were actually to pardon her, the public would have to wonder why? She is, after all, a bad person. She's been found guilty of trafficking children, children we now know as young as 9, 10, and 11 years old. If Trump pardons her, he admits to the world that he wants to, needs to keep her quiet.

So, Trump, if he let her go, would damn himself. But Trump is afraid that if he didn't pardon her, she will not go gently, -- or silently - back into prison.
