Im the guy you had to put up with during the first panel. Fortunately, we have a new cast of people to add their voices to the wonderful voices you heard from the scholars who were on the first panel. Once again, weve got Miller Center people here. And the Miller Center, one of its main emphases, is the focus on studying the presidency in depth. Historical depth with objectivity. In other words, we are all in the business of doing stuff that an editorial cartoonist is not in the business of doing which is reacting to events on a daytoday basis.

In the denver post for several years. Washington star for several years. Along the way, pat oliphant became the first 21st cartoonist to be featured in newspapers all across the country, he was indicated in newspapers for the country. Far from being balanced, they were opinionated. That was part of their virtue. Obviously, not so much inwards, though there are words, especially in pictures, and the work of pot o
Theres no indication of the individuals involved. It also does not indicate whether any Administration Officials were aware of the scheme. But it does question whether prosecutors may review documents seized as a result of a search warrant that may have been protected by attorneyclient privilege. This Court Document shows the investigation may involve at least two individuals who and were quoting here acted as lobbyist tuesday senior white house officials without complying with the registration requirement of the lobbying disclosure act to secure a pardon or reprieve of sentence for someone whose name is redacted.

The document also says the investigation involves an alleged offer by another individual to, quote, offer a substantial political contribution in exchange for a president ial pardon or reprieve of sentence. That indeed gets your attention. The white house has declined to comment on this development, but a few minutes ago trump sent out this on his own, quote, pardon investigation is fake news. The New York Times is reporting trump has apparently taken Sean Hannitys advice and has discussed with advisers whether to grant preemptive pardons for his lawyer Rudy Giuliani as well as three oldest children, don, jr. , eric, and ivanka and her husband, president ial soninlaw jared.
