    The Tate brothers may have to pay for their crimes in UK and Romania but in the USA they can just buy pardons from Trump. If they give a little extra money to the Orange Demon, they might even get a cabinet post.

      Trump can’t sell pardon for state crimes. I simply cannot believe that the US is so fucking corrupt that the president selling pardons is an actual fact.
