The American President has the ability to pardon anyone of a federal crime….
But as Trump and Joe Arpaio found out there is a catch….
The pardon does NOT erase being guilty of the crime u maybe pardoned of…..
Oh, and President’s do NOT have follow Justice Dept. guidelines like some media person is gonna say when this happens…
It’s simply the chief executives call….
They ALL do them….
The White House has discussed a possible pardon for Michael Flynn, President Donald Trump’s first national security adviser, and others, three sources told CNN on Tuesday.
However, those sources cautioned that Trump could change his mind about making such a move. There have been discussions about pardoning multiple people in the President’s orbit, the sources told CNN.
CNN previously reported that Flynn is among those likeliest to receive a pardon given his history as a Trump campaign associate who was convicted following special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. Others who could be under consideration are George Papadopoulos and Paul Manafort.
The President has long claimed — falsely — he and his campaign were illegally targeted and that campaign associates got into trouble only because of their association with him.
A possible pardon for Flynn would be the latest instance of the President using his expansive pardon power for a high-profile ally.
To date, Trump’s record on presidential pardons has been marked by personal connections, showmanship and an aversion to going through official government channels…..
