I just had an idea about "the plan" and it's possible relation to j Assange. What if Assange told Trump and the white hats that he has all the dirt on literally everyone. Gives them a decent sample to prove he does in fact have said dirt. Wants a pardon in return.
Why didn't Trump give him a pardon ?
At the end of the day turned out that he was lying so Trump has to end the term in 4 years
