Daily Episode 274: This Week in Fascism #47

And the second article, the other side of this is that the corruption itself is so painfully obvious that Trump is publicly making these plans or these announcements essentially to issue mass pardons for junior staff inside the White House.
C
9:18CoreyHOST
In the Washington Sun, it's titled White House is weighing mass pardons for junior staff.
C
9:23CoreyHOST
And the article says that as Trump allies press the administration to protect lower-ranked officials from prosecution and other legal challenges, two sources familiar with the conversation say that the White House is evaluating whether to issue these mass pardons.
C
9:37CoreyHOST
While President Donald Trump has publicly discussed issuing pardons for top aides and has issued pardons for billionaires and major donors, questions have mounted about the potential legal jeopardy facing thousands of employees who have implemented the White House's agenda.
C
10:13CoreyHOST
Several conservative organizations influential with the administration, including the Heritage Foundation and American Moment, have pressed White House counsel to either prepare pardons or put in place funding for the legal fees necessary to defend junior staffers from criminal and congressional probes or potential lawsuits, according to the two sources familiar with the conversations.
C
10:32CoreyHOST
Mike Davis, a prominent Trump supporter and president of the Article 3 Project, an advocacy group that fights legal cases for the right, also said he plans to press the White House for action.
C
10:42CoreyHOST
These efforts have only intensified, the sources told The Washington Sun, after Senator Alyssa Slotkin, Democrat from Michigan, said earlier this month that congressional investigations into Trump officials should make young Republicans think twice before joining the administration in its final two years.
C
10:58CoreyHOST
Davis told The Sun on Friday, after listening to Alyssa Slotkin threatening to go after young people who joined the Trump administration, President Trump should issue very broad, preemptive pardons for anyone who worked for him or in his orbit.

And he did it again with with our colleague Ed Lavandera.

But a quote from Ben Wickler, who's a former Wisconsin party chair to Democratic party chair to your publication in Washington Sun, maybe explains it.

If voters are telling you every hour or every day that grocery prices are their top concern, then don't stop talking about grocery prices in order to lean into Elon Musk.
L
38:54Leigh Ann CaldwellPANELIST
Yeah, absolutely.
L
39:09Leigh Ann CaldwellPANELIST
So distracting and talking about what Elon Musk is doing when there are hundreds of millions of dollars going into all of these campaigns throughout the country, it might not be the best argument.
J
39:19Jasmine WrightPANELIST
Yeah, and that quote came from an article from my colleague Emma Ruby, which is fantastic.
J
39:22Jasmine WrightPANELIST
Everyone should go read it on the Washington Sun.
J
39:24Jasmine WrightPANELIST
But it basically juxtaposes Elon Musk's visibility this election cycle with 2024.

She told The Washington Sun that most black men she talks to at local barbershops don't even recognize Tallarico's name.
E
12:55Erin BurnettHOST

Would you let this woman babysit? If not, why is she qualified to vouch for anybody's honesty? Donald Trump's White House is reportedly evaluating blanket pardons for junior staffers, according to the Washington Sun, possibly for entire policy arenas like deportations, war, and trade.

Pardons by department.
