+ The New York Times proclaims it must provide oversight to Trump’s presidential pardons.
+ Specifically, they want to know everything about someone (C.W.) who was pardoned by Trump in December 2020.
- C.W.’s court records are sealed.
- NYT demands all his records be unsealed, regardless of relevancy.
- They want unfettered access.
- They claim they’re doing it for the public.
- They declare they have media privilege.
+ They assume the right to judge Trump’s pardons as legitimate or not, and if the recipients are worthy or not.
