From an ethics standpoint, if there's a motion that is frivolous on the merits but may help your client win a pardon, do you (a) have to file it to help win pardon, (b) have to not file it because it's legally frivolous, or (c) have a discretionary call? https://www.washingtonpost.com/2020/02/22/roger-stone-motion-judge/?hpid=hp_hp-more-top-stories_stone-305pm%3Ahomepage%2Fstory-ans …

Thanks -- although I'm mostly just interested in the ethics question, regardless of whether this particular motion was legally frivolous.

I suppose - though in my practice I'd actually research this question and confer with my firm's ethics gurus - you could analogize a frivolous motion that helps your client get a pardon to an argument precluded by precedent in the district court but argues for a change in law.
