    I don’t know how it isn’t clear in the eyes of the law.

    If the eyewitness reports can corroborate that “repeal the specific ban Biden put on LNG exports” is being offered, and the price being “a billion” dollars, even if no executives took up that offer, Trump ought to be punished for even soliciting such an arrangement, no?

      Trump is a Republican so no, punishment isn’t on the table. Instead they’ll impeach Biden for having a dog in the whitehouse or something, much better use of taxpayer funds.

        Yes and each one should be investigated and held accountable for it. Ofc one side thinks “rules for thee, not for me”.
