Of the 65 pardons and commutations that Mr. Trump had granted before
Wednesday, *60* have gone to petitioners who had a personal tie to Mr.
Trump or who helped his political aims, according to a tabulation by the
Harvard Law School professor Jack Goldsmith. Although similar figures do
not exist for previous presidents, legal experts say that those
presidents granted a far lower percentage to those who could help them
personally and politically.

Mr. Trump’s use of his powers to grant clemency to allies and supporters
drew criticism even from some Republicans. “This is rotten to the core,�
said Senator Ben Sasse, Republican of Nebraska.

The pardons to Mr. Manafort and Mr. Stone on the same day will be
particularly stinging for the former special counsel Robert S. Mueller
III and his team.

Trump didn't drain the swamp...he *is* the swamp.

Trunm is merely undoing the persecutions that were carried out by the
