        Real question. Could Trump commute the sentence of a family member or favorite staffer or friend post conviction? For example, if Flynn got a 5 year sentence could Trump commute it to one month?

        For the buzzfeed "Legal Editor and Supreme Court Correspondent" one might assume that you were aware of the contents of Flynn's plea deal.

        I am. What gives you the impression I am not? Her primary question was IF Trump could commute the sentence of "a family member or favorite staffer or friend"? "Yes." She gave one, conditional example that you're focusing on that was irrelevant to her underlying question.

        Read the details of the case. The alleged "bank fraud" was not disclosing on a loan application that he used illegal immigrant labor. There's a reason people on both sides of the aisle called the sentence disproportionate: it was

        You're saying they're not 2 separate crimes? That he was convicted of the same crime twice under different laws?

        No. I'm saying that, like Al Capone being prosecuted for tax fraud, they used Rubashkin's non-disclosure of criminal conduct as the basis for a prosecution on something other than the underlying criminal conduct

        If it was valid for prosecuting Capone, why is it not a legitimate means of justice in this case?
