I have a feeling that trump is holding pardons over people's head to deliver him the election.

and when this doesn't happen (this includes his children) he won't pardon anyone. He only cares about himself, when they can't steal him this election, he will punish them.

The extent of damage he could do is nearly limitless.

Trump's entire life is a parade of broken promises, bad deals and failures. You'd have to be dumb to make a deal with a slimeball like that.

*wet fart noise*

The people he wants to save him, he doesn't have any leverage over them any more. The people he has leverage over, they're useless when it comes to saving him.
