Netanyahu, Seeking a Pardon, Borrows From a Familiar Playbook
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s request on Sunday for a pardon that would short-circuit his long-running corruption trial was made in the dryly polite terms of a legal brief, not in the provocative language of a social-media post.
In its sheer audacity, however, it seemed ripped from the playbook of another leader who did not let multiple felony charges, or even a conviction, stop him from seeking power: President Trump.

Silicon Valley’s Man in the White House
No event better illustrates Mr. Sacks’s ethical complexities and how his intertwined interests have come together than the July A.I. summit. Mr. Sacks initially planned for the forum to be hosted by ‘All-In,’ which he leads with other tech investors. ‘All-In’ asked potential sponsors to each pay it $1 million for access to a private reception and other events at the summit ‘bringing together President Donald Trump and leading A.I. innovators.’
The plan so worried some officials that Susie Wiles, the White House chief of staff, intervened to prevent ‘All-In’ from serving as the sole host of the forum.

Serendipity:
