Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara criticized President Trump's decision to pardon the controversial former Sheriff Joe Arpaio on Friday, saying on Twitter that it was "contrary" to the Justice Department's standards for issuing pardons.
"This pardon is contrary to DOJ guidelines, unsurprisingly. Pure politics. Wonder what the pardon attorney's official recommendation was," Bharara tweeted.....

Who elected Preet President?
DoJ guidelines are irrelevant. POTUS can pardon anyone he likes. There is no requirement that guidelines be observed.
He’s about as qualified as Barack Obama.
Well DUH He is the President, not a DOJ lawyer. If you are in the DOJ one would expect you to have read the U.S Constitution at least once!
Precisely on target, 2 Div. In fact, show me in the constitution where there’s supposed to be a department of justice.
I WOULD LIKE TO SEE THE GUIDELINES FOR PARDONING KNOWN FELON TERRORISTS, FOR THEIR VOTE FOR THE WIFE.
Or political parties, PACs or bundlers.
Right. Besides Sheriff Joe is an American icon when it comes to law and order. He should have a statue. Many in fact.
bharara is a low life political tool of the first degree supreme-o.
You think this is perverse, go and read the tweets back to Bharara! Every Left wing moron coming out of the woodwork, completely clueless about the Constitution, other Presidents’ pardons, including Obama’s, and the firm belief that this pardon can be rolled back because Trump didn’t “follow the rules”.
Also, Arpaio is a dirty racist, white supremacist and KKK/Nazi, and so is Trump. Like GEICO, everybody (democrat) knows that.
Former ANYTHING in politics to be ignored. They have nothing constructive to say.
Amen
If the Sheriff had not been going into O’s background he would not have been prosecuted.....
Preet is yet another fake American. American by naturalization papers only. Hey Preet, you need to go back. One day, you will go back.
The prosecution was pure politics. A presidential pardon is final.
Checkmate, Rat tards.
Arpaio's prosecution was completely political to start with so a political pardon was justified.
Also, I wonder if DOJ guidelines say give to pass to someone who allows any and all enemies access to thousands of secret and top-secret emails?
Rat heads are exploding, the tantums will go on for a couple of weeks, and then the Rats/fake media will find something new to start screaming about. Shampoo. Rinse. Repeat.
Behind the frenzy of the tantrums is the rage the Rats feel because they KNOW there isn’t a d@mn thing they can do about this pardon. Zip. Zero. Nada. LMAO
Does anyone know how well all the dope dealers and other assorted miscreants bammy pardoned are doing?
Yeah...
“Rats/fake media will find something new to start screaming about. Shampoo. Rinse. Repeat.”
It seems to me essential, and a matter of the greatest urgency, that the left be stripped of the media.
It is their greatest weapon, and we must take it away from them.
Uh...Mark Rich
I guess he figures Joe didn’t rate it because he didn’t grease some palms sufficiently. That the DOJ standard under Democrats.
