It is understood that some wealthy lobbyists or those with political connections can bypass the traditional pardon process through this route. Lobbyist Ches McDowell stated that Donald Trump Jr. did not help him seek a pardon for CZ, but a week later Trump officially signed the pardon order, causing a huge uproar in Washington.
