Part-time comedian and full-time Trump-hater Rosie O’Donnell may have committed a felony on social media this week, offering $2 million to two US Senators if they changed their votes on the GOP tax overhaul.
The infamous comic posted the bizarre offer on twitter ahead of Tuesday’s vote, saying “I promise to give 2 million dollars to senator susan Collins and 2 million to senator jeff flake… if they vote NO.”
O’Donnell doubled-down on the bribe minutes later, saying “Susan- 2 million dollars cash. Call if u want to negotiate.”

Rosie’s offer may land the comedian in hot water with federal authorities, as offering funds to public officials to change their votes is considered a serious crime.
“Bribery of public officials and witnesses
(b) Whoever—
(1) directly or indirectly, corruptly gives, offers or promises anything of value to any public official or person who has been selected to be a public official, or offers or promises any public official or any person who has been selected to be a public official to give anything of value to any other person or entity, with intent—
(A) to influence any official act;
Luckily for O’Donnell neither official decided to change their vote at the last minute, sending the GOP-led tax overhaul to President Trump’s desk well ahead of their Christmas deadline.

ROSIE'S REVENGE: O'Donnell Has Crazy, PUBLIC MELTDOWN Over Flynn
Michael Flynn made national headlines last week after admitting to the special counsel’s office that he had “knowingly and wittingly” made false statements to the FBI regarding his relationship with the Russian ambassador.
President Trump weighed-in on the admission Monday, saying he “felt badly” that the FBI had “ruined” Flynn’s life but did nothing to doomed Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton after she repeatedly lied to the bureau.

SHE'S BACK: Kathy Griffin BLAMES TRUMP for Career Nosedive
Troubled comedian Kathy Griffin posted a bizarre video on social media Monday, blasting President Trump for putting her on a “Hollywood blacklist” and admitting she “lost her mind” as her career continues to tank following months of vicious attacks leveled at President Trump and his family.
“I’m getting a lot of online hate from trolls who think I’ve lost my mind. And I am admitting I lost my mind because it’s what made me a star in the first place,” she said in her YouTube video, called “Kathy Griffin’s State of the Union.”
“I’m fully in the middle of a blacklist, a Hollywood blacklist. It is real. I’m not booked on any talk shows. I’m selling tickets worldwide which is really hard when you don’t have any kind of a television platform and kind of nobody has your back,” she added.
“I just want you guys to know that when I get home I don’t have one single day of paid work in front of me…my legal bills are through the roof,” said Griffin.
The comic’s health has come into question as of late, after the comedian collapsed during a stand-up performance in Europe.
