(115,879 posts)1. I sure do. In fact, the stench is pretty overwhelming.
"Don't worry about anything; I'll pick up your legal bills for whatever you have to do..." (wink, wink, nudge, nudge). After the promisee lies for Trump and Trump doesn't pay the legal bills as promised, which would be par for the course for him, you can bet he won't help out with the bills for defending the perjury charges either.

and I'll pay your lawyers' fees. Yep, bribery.

on a more serious note, this is the sort of thing that gets (or should get) lawyers disbarred very quickly.
especially given the attention, i strongly expect the lawyers to refuse to take his money.
of course, donnie could simply reimburse the paid witnesses directly, bypassing the lawyers.
witness tampering and obstruction of justice, of course. but, in for a penny, in for a pound, right?
