it's because he could afford it

  Assuming you’re talking about money, how does one pay for a pardon?

    He didn’t pay. But Peter Thiel and Palmer Luckey (two big Republican donors) recommended him to the Trump team for a pardon, and Trump obliged.

      Ok, however, I still don't see "it's because he could afford it".

        If you can't afford it, you're not hanging out with the likes of Thiel or Lucky. Just having money grants you access to certain circles even if you're not having to spend the money for that access, or it allows you to buy tickets to events with those people.

        Not all affordances are cash.
