TRUMP also commuted the sentence of BILL WALTERS, convicted on insider-trading related charges.
Walters had hired Trump’s ex-lawyer JOHN DOWD, who bragged he could help obtain pardons because of his close relationship with Trump, as @nytmike & I reported: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/17/us/politics/trump-pardons.html

Last week, @nytmike & I revealed that MATT SCHLAPP was hired to lobby TRUMP for a pardon for Trump donor PETE PETIT. https://nytimes.com/2021/01/17/us/politics/trump-pardons.html
@MSCHLAPP disclosed yesterday he was paid $750k for that work between 12/17 & 12/31.
* Petit didn't get pardoned. https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/62fdab12-4da0-4ba4-bfb5-f8709351baba/print/

MORE UNSUCCESSFUL PARDON LOBBYING: @JoshNassPR was paid a total of $100k last month to seek clemency for 4 different people, none of whom got pardons or commutations from TRUMP.
BRETT TOLMAN, who worked with TRUMP team on pardons & commutations, successfully lobbied for clemency for several clients.
But he also was paid to lobby by several who didn't get clemency, including DINA REIS ("the stealing socialite") who paid him $20k. https://lda.senate.gov/filings/public/filing/c116169d-6bd0-41b6-8e2b-62803e4e56b6/print/

MORE UNSUCCESSFUL (WELL-PAID) PARDON LOBBYING:
NICKIE LUM DAVIS — who pleaded guilty for her role in a covert foreign influence campaign involving @ELLIOTT_BROIDY — paid $100k+ to lobbyists to "secure clemency."
Broidy got pardoned, but Davis didn't. https://twitter.com/kenvogel/status/1351674196024242177
