Sorry, it was 100k, 50 up front:

"A onetime top adviser to the Trump campaign was paid $50,000 to help seek a pardon for John Kiriakou, a former C.I.A. officer convicted of illegally disclosing classified information, and agreed to a $50,000 bonus if the president granted it, according to a copy of an agreement."

And this is not to trump, but rather to his groupies to talk to him on your behalf. At least on paper.

Still, probably a good value if you actually get it.


I also heard that Rudy's aide float $2M ... it's got to be the aides/close confidents who were trying to milk power.
