I'm thinking they paid the 5 million each.

Now will the Sinaloa cartel be bringing their “tributes” to the White House in duffel bags or
will they wash it through a Trump business? Now who picks up the money? Bannon or

I think trump or his kids pick up the money. The same way he sells pardons. He sends his kids out to make the deal. I'm sure he's found all kinds of things to sell.
