Lets compare the net worths and demographic bands of these spendid people. Very likely most will be multi millionaires, white and scummy. Just a hunch.

Remember when Trump was leaving office and he was convinced Trump was gonna pardon him, and his team rented a stretch hummer or something like that and then he didn't get a pardon?
