Again and again in Donald Trump’s Washington, it’s about who you know.
That was the case Wednesday night with the President’s latest wave of pardons as he prepares to leave the White House. Most everyone on the list either had a connection to the Big Man themselves or friends in high places willing to make their case.
In that sense, Wednesday’s list was much the same as Tuesday’s before it, accompanied by a White House statement chock full of Republican congressmen and television stars vouching for their friends or favored causes.
But as Trump progressed toward Christmas, the names got bigger: Charles Kushner, father of Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared; former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and key confidante Roger Stone, both Russia probe cases; Margaret Hunter, whose husband former Rep. Duncan Hunter (R-CA) Trump had pardoned the day prior.
