ken vogel. thank you for joining us. i want to be clear.are not necessarily saying the president or his allies actually committed a crime here but you write this, i quote, pardons and come mutations are for deserving recipients. what do you know about who was paying and who was actually receiving this money? >> we don't know the full scope of who was involved in this burnlonning pardon market. but because there is no disclosure around it, there is no mandatory requirement for those who go to the white house and put in a good word or accept money to put in a good word for somebody seeking a pardon. disclose it. there are some lobbying regulations that transparency advocates argue should capture some of that. we know a lot of it is not being captured. that said we did get ahold of some documents showing a former florida senior campaign staffer on the 2016 trump campaign karen jordano was seeking pardon on behalf of a guy who was convicted of releasing classified information from the cia. john dowd, took tens of thousands of dollars to seek a

. >> anita vogel joins us as frustrated parents make your point loud and clear to school leaders. >>oss the nation are more than frustrated over when their kids will go back to the classroom. the centers for disease control and prevention recently announced new data suggesting there is little evidence of coronavirus transmission in schools if proper safety precautions are followed, things like facemasks, physical distancing, increased room ventilation and limiting indoor sports and into a dining. as parents watch city leaders in many states lifting restrictions on restaurants, retail, hair and nail salon, they are no longer able to hide their outrage on why schools of all places remain closed. >> figure it out or get off the podium because you know what? people like me and a lot of other people out there will gladly take your seat and figure it out. >> reporter: across the country the tenth debate is raging between district and teachers unions. in chicago the nation's third largest school district is on the verge of a teacher strike. the teachers union arguing the district hasn't don

anita vogel has more. hi, anita. >> hi, dana. year all guilty of this.w as you said, one man literally stands to lose a fortune. stefan thomas is a german programmer living here in california. 11 years ago, he said he received 7,000 bitcoin tokens. he wrote down the password on a piece of paper that is long gone. the season gives you ten tries before it reencrypts. then the tokens will be gone forever. he has two tries left. fans of bitcoin love it because it does allow your private information to be protected by servers, not people. critics say the problem is you can't negotiate with a server. buyers are given a private key to their digital wallet, which only they have access to. there's no mechanism to help you reset your password. many people have offered their opinions about how thomas can come up with a correct pass word asking for a 10% commission or the the right answer. thomas is not alone. an estimated $140 billion is just sitting there in the eather from other folks either. >> there's no chance of remembering something that complicated from ten

i think you're right to point that out, mike schmidt and ken vogel wrote that this week. and it goes to, you know, the way the pardon process under this president has been transformed. other presidents have made political pardons, but they still used the pardon office in the justice department for what they did. this president has mostly ignored that process. they've basically been shut out completely. the people who get to the president are people like kim kardashian, or friends of friends who have managed to make a case with the president in some way or another. and some of the pardons may make sense, people who were drug offenders, and got caught up in the harsh sentences for nonviolent offenses. but even in those cases, they're often brought to the president's attention through personal friends and not in a process that is meant to weigh them on their own. >> and my colleagues at nbc news have reported it's unlikely that the president will pardon himself or any immediate members of his family, his adult children. does that reporting still hold? are we still confident

report so i want to bring in the journalist behind this very important story, "new york times" ken vogelen, what is going on? >> well, there are a couple things going on that have led to this dynamic where we have this booming market for pardon lobbying. number one is trump has conducted his entire presidency in a very transactional manner where he has looked to friends, allies, even family for advice and for advice as to how we can benefit himself politically. and number two is, he has really circumvented the traditional method for the traditional process for evaluating pardons. and that typically goes through the justice department which has this whole bureaucratic process for vetting and identifying worthy pardon recipients. so trump has taken that all and moved it in house, inside the white house where it's being run by the white house counsel's office, and jared kushner, his son-in-law and white house adviser. so if you want to get a pardon application in front of the president or the people making these decisions you don't go through this normal traditional route through the justic
