As speculation mounts about a slew of pardons coming from President Trump in his final five weeks in office, it’s worth renewing my suggestion that Florida businessman James Batmasian merits executive clemency.

I first wrote in February about Batmasian, whom I have never met, after being apprised of his situation. Batmasian is a self-made billionaire and was a pillar of his community when he was convicted for what amounted to a minor administrative shortcut. To escape a bookkeeping hassle, he paid full-time employees as contract workers when they did extra work alongside other temporary, nonemployee, contract workers.
