trump s done. despite the fact he s repeatedly criticized past president for their pardoning. . he talks about the fairness factor. a wrong has been done and the president wants to correct it. i wonder if it s thinking about how can he correct wrongs done to him if that enters into the process. i m not sure there s mastermind thing going on here. i think in some ways he can talk about unfairness, especially with rob blagojevich and martha institute wa stewart. they she had a spinoff. there s some relationship where he kind of knows their story. he also knows you meng these two people, rob blagojevich we covered exhaustively and martha stewart who was definitely covered exhaustively. she was all over the news. she went to jail. he knows that s catnip for everybody as well. he s like i have this power, i can dangle these things in front

blagojevi so you know we re always going after the who, what, where, when, and why. today we re focussing on the last one as the big question for the white house. why is the president considering a pardon nor martha stewart? considering shortening a sentence for governor robb blagojevich? would koh it be a signal to michael cohen the president s long-time loyal who is feeling pressure from robert mueller as he closes in on folks involved with this. or does this have to deal with mueller himself with james comey? rib he served as fbi director and back in 4 james comey was the whoub brought federal charges against martha stewart. peter, there s nothing more frustratings a journalist than having the question we don t know answer to. i m not sure we know the answer as to white president is considering this, but there are signs of where that is going. i think that anybody can sort of read this the way they like, including those individuals you named like the president s attorney michael
case. what s notable it s not just this conservative commentator d souza but also high profile personalities like martha stewart, also robb blagojevich, notably a democrat. it may not motor your party affiliation. he wlefs both of them were treated unfairly and harshly by the justice system and he is differing a message that he s open for business and he s willing to review any case that he likely thinks is worthy of being given a reprieve. we should note a white house official telling us yesterday the president is considering plenty of other people for pardons right now. they say there was nothing wrong about the way he went about this process with dinesh d souza and they say it could happen again soon. peter alexander at the white house north lawn. peter, start my computer for me i ll see you over there in 25 minutes. it s going to be a hot one. thank you. joining me now is attorney who specializes in white collar criminal defense.
