$1B is enough, but you have to be spending it on the bribes before you get caught. Once you get caught your options are limited.

Just having $1B isn't enough.

1B gets you in the door. You still need to know the right people to pay off. You can't just google it. This is why you see all the billionaires at their billionaire parties, good old networking.

Let's not make Trump seem responsible for our incredibly overtly corrupt country. Bill Clinton was a democrat, was president before Trump, and is notorious for his seemingly-corrupt pardons. I'm no history buff so I can't go back further than my own lifespan for further examples but I bet America has been this way for a long, long time.

Ehh, don’t believe every political talking point you hear.

You should read Swiss investigative journalist, Daniel Amman’s King of Oil.

The furor over these pardons including the Marc Rich pardon was 100% political.

Clinton pardoned relatively the same amount of people as previous presidents but with a heavy focus on “leftists.”

Also, Marc Rich had left the US before he started working across trade embargoes and singlehandedly built the OTC oil market. He also worked actively with the US on covert oil sales while being prosecuted by the DOJ.

I started reading his book but got distracted. Thank you. I'll pick it back up.

It's got nothing to do with Trump, here's Clinton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Rich

Trump tends to pardon the people who will get him into the news cycle, like sadistic war criminals, corrupt or openly racist officials like Blagojevich and Arpaio, or whoever Kim Kardashian told him to.
