• 1:26
  Speaker 2: the kid to college for four years, it's going to
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: be a two hundred and fifty thousand. If you go

  Speaker 1: what was behind Trump willing to release the Honduran drug lord.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: I can't under stand that.
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Oh, well, you're gonna see a lot of he just
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: pardoned a little while ago a lawmaker in Texas was
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: convicted of bribery. Uh. Sometimes he just thinks the guy
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: did enough punishment a part, But a lot of times
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: it's somebody a donor or a big member of Congress,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: who calls you and asks you for this as a favor.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: So you know, uh, money was involved.
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, not with Trump, but it's a favor to somebody.
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: You need to do a favor. Ford, it's a good question.
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: You know, there's a guy in Long Island got convicted
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: of uh swindling people. You know, you got, i know,
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: some kind of financial white collar crime. And the guy
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: was a convicted sentenced to prison. So Trump just pardoned him. Now,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: a lot of times that's a favorite. You know, if
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: you got the right friends, you can get yourself a pardon.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: If you're a major, major, major donor, you listen, I
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: need a favor. They'll look over the pardon and if
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: it's uh, if it's not too outrageous, they'll give it
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: to you. It's a favorite of the donor. But many,
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: many times it's a major figure in Congress or in
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: government calls you. You know, if a major congress has
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: got somebody in this district, that's usually the case, somebody
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: in their district they need a pardon. And this happens
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: with the Democrat Republican presidents. I need to get this
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: guy pardon. Now. They then weigh it, how do I
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: need this congressman. Yeah, I'm gonna need him for about
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: twenty different votes. I'm gonna need his vote, so they'll
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: do the favor for you. It happens all the time. Now,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: it's really outrageous. They'll say they can't do it, but
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: you know, the most glaring example was Mark Rich, the
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: financier who got caught in all kinds of crime, and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: he's so bad that he fled the country. There's no
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: way he's gonna even try to beat these charges. He fled.
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: He went to Switzerland and they were chasing him all
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: over the world. They tried to arrest him in Israel.
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: They tried to arrest him here, but they could. They're
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: chasing this guy. He's a fugitive on the lamb. But

  Speaker 2: the Rich family massive donors to the Clintons, massive donors,
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: so they want to her husband pardon and it was
• 4:02

• 4:07
  Speaker 2: Rich pardon, somebody in the Justice Department has to sign off.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Everybody refused to sign off. They finally found one guy
