Lesley Stahl and her team really sock it to Trump tonight.
On “60 Minutes,” Stahl and her producers go the old fashioned route of Mike Wallace. They actually set up a sting to catch the people making millions off of offering access to Trump in order to obtain presidential pardons.
Trump denies it, but in the end these brokers are all working to get his attention. According to Stahl, 92% of Trump’s pardons have not gone through the Department of Justice. They’ve all ben conducted by criminals for criminals.
I’m actually surprised Stahl’s piece made it on air. It’s very damaging to Trump, who thinks he’s calling the shots now on CBS. But she nails it, even interviewing the subjects of her sting — a pair of jackasses who look they came from central casting.
So will Congress follow up? Will Democrats do anything?
Keep refreshing for the whole Stahl piece.
