Regarding Trump pardons, I have a pretty simple view: This is him doing a thing he can do! It's a very broad power, with almost no limits, and he needs no one else's say to do it. https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-president-actually-has-enormous-power-to-pardon … ... Of course he's going to do it in unexpected ways!

From
@tparti and me, on today's pardon: "The former official said he doesn't think Trump is playing 'the sort of three-dimensional chess people ascribe to decisions like this. More often than not he's just eating the pieces.'" https://www.buzzfeed.com/tariniparti/trump-allies-dont-see-three-dimensional-chess-in-dinesh?utm_term=.rneQqOgly#.whYOl4zgE …pic.twitter.com/QYkXCUs4mI

Rudy Giuliani tells me that Trump told him about the D'Souza pardon decision last night. As to the 3D chess talk: "I say there’s nothing to that," adding that he’s had no discussions with Trump about sending any messages with his pardons.https://www.buzzfeed.com/tariniparti/trump-allies-dont-see-three-dimensional-chess-in-dinesh?utm_term=.rneQqOgly#.whYOl4zgE …

I can almost guarantee that Trump had no idea what d'souza was even convicted of.

"in the President's opinion". I guess that's all that matters.

They probably printed the release out, highlighted full pardon and handed it to him so there weren't any arguments about how he said full pardon, not clemency.

What do you expect? They only had - checks watch - about 2 hours to write it.
