Arpaio isn't set for sentencing on his criminal contempt conviction until Oct. 5.
-
Technically he may not be able to be pardoned till he's sentence. That's the completion of his trial.
-
That's in no way true.

I said might. Frankly I think he had some other type announcement planned for tonight with Pence being there.

Pence would be frying his future bring part of this pardon. I think the GOP are still counting on him if he's needed

Chris, do you have any explainers on why a pardon would not be a separation of powers issue? Because it’s contempt and thus overrules court?

seems a bit of an open question in case law.

If the executive can essentially nullify court orders by pardoning contempt, doesn’t the executive nullify the court?

Trump will "ask" his base- "put it out there" then wait to see what the response is. Pardon, if happens, will occur later w/o fanfare.
