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?

lol, Flynn's plea deal gives him 0-6 months jail time. You people are crazy.

She asked a question. I answered. You're the one feeling the need to jump in to a conversation that has nothing to do with you tell tell people they're "crazy."

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.

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?
-
It is. But the sentence was excessive compared to similar financial crimes

Yet there are still people doing 30 years for smoking pot..Crazy

The Lubavitch have a lot of political power. He had five past Dem/GOP US AGs writing letters of support.
-
Either that or the sentence was universally recognized as a miscarriage of justice

He is a criminal. I don't care which rebbe he's related to.

Committed a crime and was sentenced by a biased judge and serve probably 6-7years more than he should have
