Won't be surprised if some journalists "voluntarily" give over their Pulitzers, what with all the pending news-media consolidations.
And litterateurs giving their Nobel, Booker awards. Those Truths are obv. superior.
Not to forget bravery awards.

One very important point made by Maia Sandu, President of Moldova, in this interview: if you have dark money corrupting your elections, you cannot wait until after the elections to investigate, arrest, and debar candidates: once the corrupt are elected, you're stuck with them.

Look at the bright side, this lobbyist could use another lobbyist to get his own presidential pardon.
The president is just fine for this cycle of crime-pardon-crime to expand.

"He has used the office of the presidency to make at least $1.4 billion"
At least he's an actual billionaire now. 🤷♂️
And I believe his goal is to exit the office a trillionaire. 🤑

I'm guessing the Alexander brothers are in line for a Presidential pardon. The President just needs to finalize the "pardon terms" and timing.
