10. I know one who will get (buy) a pardon from Trump, Ohio Republican Larry Householder. $60,000 bribe

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larry_Householder

As speaker of Ohio’s House he took in over $60 million in bribes from First Energy of Ohio to make
the utility customers pay for not only First Energy’s nuclear power plants but for aging coal fired
plants in Ohio and Indiana along with some sugar for some of the other electric companies too
such as AEP. That 60 million in bribes got the utilities over $1.6 billion in return.

A top executive @ 1st Energy committed suicide and Householder is in prison along some
other Republican law makers.

Ohio is really dirty. The despite all their crimes, gerrymandering, and, being anti abortion
Christo Fascist shits they have things rigged so much here they keep power.

I’m sure Householder has some of his ill gotten loot or rich fossil fuel shits ready to grease
Trump’s hands.
