The President can Pardon anyone!
Given the “leadership” of Dorkbama the Muslim eunuch and his selected cadre of quota law school directors of that department, “DOJ Guidelines” must necessarily be a joke book.
Hey, Preet: GTFO of the US. Now. Today.
exactly.
President.
So what? He’s the Prez!
Take you guidelines, DOJ, and shove them.
(I actually feel better about the pardon if, indeed, Trump thumbed his nose at the deep-throaters, I mean -staters, in the DOJ)
Has McCain been in the swamp so long that he has forgotten? That the three branches government all serve to check and balance each other.
Bharara is lying or misinformed. I’ll be charitable and assume he knows nothing about his former job.

1.2 Eligibility for filing petition for pardon.
No petition for pardon should be filed until the expiration of a waiting period of at least five years after the date of the release of the petitioner from confinement or, in case no prison sentence was imposed, until the expiration of a period of at least five years after the date of the conviction of the petitioner. Generally, no petition should be submitted by a person who is on probation, parole, or supervised release.

Sheriff Joe Arpaio was outside the guidelines to file a petition for pardon, but well within the scope of the President’s constitutional power to pardon. It’s a paperwork question for the person convicted, and there is no indication Sheriff Joe filed any paperwork.
Bharara is a hack and was totally unqualified to be a U.S. Attorney. I think the name “Preet” may have helped him beat out some other underqualified affirmative action candidates.
guidelines are just that. they hold no real meaning.
It is a bit unusual to see someone who isn’t a narcotics trafficker getting a POTUS pardon.
A common theme to counter the Trump presidency. Some bureaucratic policy is invoked as gospel for why Trump is unable to exercise the powers every Preaodemt has before him. Always, always whatever a dem wants to do is a “pen and phone” away from reality. Trump so much as hiring or firing an executive appointee or hire?!?! Why it’s an impeachable offense.
>> This pardon is contrary to DOJ guidelines, unsurprisingly. Pure politics.
Thank you for sharing.
You know. The document you swore to uphold and defend when you became a Judge.
A-hole.
Did I mention Bwahaha is an a-hole?
Was Marc Rich’s pardon from Clinton according to DoJ guidelines? No, no, no.
DOJ must have interesting guidelines if obama was able to pardon over 1,500 fraudsters crooks and drug dealers, not to mention Bradley Manning who stole and leaked over 750,000 classified documents
he got his name in the paper and the TEEVEE people might call him
He was an impressive person a few months/years back. It looked like he was really going to make the idiot politicians pay for their crimes. But alas - he turned out to be a different kettle of fish.
He sure must have been quiet when Clinton pardoned Mark Rich...as I don’t remember hearing anything about him much before 2-3 years ago... I can’t remember now just what case he seemed to be zeroed in on that gave us all hope but that’s the way it goes when there are so many that need attention and a rope!
Section 2.
Clause 1: The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.
My God, do they ever quit? Do they EVER stop with the extreme hypocrisy, idiocy, bias and extreme childish behavior? This is like a Twilight zone episode, it really is, to see adults acting like this, it’s just an epic cringe fest.
We had Obama pardon a TRAITOR to the United States, and that was after this TRAITOR instead of being executed, was able to indulge in his perversions of making pretend he was a woman all courtesy of the US taxpayer. That traitor by the way - Bradley Manning - not surprisingly is now calling for the overthrow of the USA by violence. This is exactly why traitors should be executed Did Preet Bharara ever complain about that? Oh of course not!
Enough said...Says it all...
