Corruption so pungent, it wafts right off the page:
Lobbyists who do pardon deals “say their going rate is $1 million. Pardon-seekers have offered some lobbyists close to the president success fees of as much as $6 million if they can close the deal.”

Now, thanks to his shutdown, millions of Americans in at least 25 states will lose access to food stamps on November 1st.
