For a big backgrounder on the president's very broad pardon power, read my piece from Aug. 3: https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/the-president-actually-has-enormous-power-to-pardon?utm_term=.hoo7vLKla#.oaxxno1OW …pic.twitter.com/ge8z43IZQv

Not up to DOJ, up to the court.
... We know. It's a filing.
I know you know, Chris.
Readers unfamiliar may not be so clear.
That would strike me as grade A horse shit. The sentence is moot, the conviction is not, and he has admitted guilt by accepting a pardon.
Christ was wrong, apparently the evil shall inherit the Earth! It just gets worse and worse. Goodbye America. I miss you.
So the rumors were true - every real lawyer at DOJ is bound & gagged in a broom closet.
That's not how this works. That's not how any of this works!
I thought accepting a pardon meant admitting guilt though?
Wait, what? That's not how it works.
I"m shocked that Pete Sessions would be so craven, and so racist. Shocked!
@TheJusticeDept This is the worse argument and reasoning for a pardon. PATHETIC AG SESSIONS PATHETIC
Trump jumped the gun to please his right wing supporters and low poll numbers. Can a president unpardon his pardon LOL?
