Or it might just be coincidence, because stories said that pardon paperwork was all ready to go a couple of days ago.
It may simply have been time to get it out there.
“It may simply have been time to get it out there.”
I think you are underestimating Trump’s sense of good timing, for a variety of reasons: it’s the Friday dump; Gorka quit; Hurricane Harvey in process. Again, Trump ain’t no dummy.
Of course the major reason is that Sheriff Joe is guiltless, and was following the law unlike the witch hunt judge that was trying to shaft him; Arpaio is 85 years old and he and his wife deserved no period of uncertainty before his being pardoned; Trump really likes Joe and has a basic innate sense of fairness and decency towards those being shafted; and last but not least, Trump loves to watch liberal heads explode too, lol.
