“HE HAD PLEADED GUILTY TO SIX NON-CRIMES.” Reading about President Trump’s pardon of Michael Milken today, I was reminded of this passage from Three Felonies a Day by Harvey Silverglate, who, when he wasn’t founding FIRE, had (and still has) a “normal” job as a criminal defense lawyer. Possibly related: Rudy Giuliani, who backed Milken’s pardon, was also Milken’s prosecutor.
