Grain of salt but don't tell me that this is something inconsistent with his character.

As the plane descended into Washington, he was exploring the legality of paying Donald Trump himself not to run for president. His team had somehow created a back channel into the Trump operation and returned with the not terribly Earth-shattering news that Donald Trump might indeed have his price: $5 billion. Or so Sam was told by his team.

How many gold bars did Menendez have? Maybe his bribery can serve a greater purpose and redeem himself.

If true, I wouldn't be surprised. But could be fake news, too. Trump just loves the attention and drama and running for prez or being prez is just the ultimate platform for that.

What year?

I know after the "Grab em by the p****" tape several Republican donors approached the Trump campaign to drop out and let Pence take over the ticket. I think Trump wanted 800 million at the time.

Menendez only has $100K worth of gold.

Wasn't the story that Republican donors offered him a billion dollars to drop out and Trump rejected?

Basically

Although, it was never an official offer. Just talks between the Trump campaign and donors. It never went far with the complications of early voters and ballots having been printed plus polls stablizing

Do you think the resistance libs who gave Amy McGrath $90 million would donate $5 billion so that Trump would never be President again?

Chris Christie demanded 5 billion as well. Pints of ice cream.
