You were proven wrong about Libby, above, by multiple posters.What ARE you talking about?
You threw some names out there, hoping one would stick, but I suspect you’re not accustomed to defending your assertions.
HOGWASH!
You and your posse come on these threads and assert an ever-continuing change in rules. First, it was suggested R&C shouldn't be pardoned until their sentence was handed down because that had never happened before. Then, it was they shouldn't be pardoned until their appeal was heard.
What next? They shouldn't be pardoned until their entire sentence is served?
Libby was pardoned after conviction but while his appeal was pending.
Marc Rich, Weinberger (et al) were pardoned before a conviction was ever handed down.
There are no hard and set rules to prohibit pardoning or commuting RAMOS and COMPEAN--there is just no will among those occupying the WH.
And yes... I used the word PARDON to include acts of commutation. Don't like it? Get over it.
I have asked someone to name anyone who has been pardoned by a President while their appeal is pending. I can’t think of anyone myself, and I thought someone might share their knowledge. That is all. Sinister motives and all that . . . you know people like me, ask a question and everyone runs, terrified.
Sutton added on 10 years because he claimed a gun was used in the commission of a crime?! What rubbish. Every law enforcement officer should have walked off the job the day he proposed that and stayed off until Sutton rescinded that ill conceived charge.
The bible implies we will be judged on how we treat the “least of us”. Well, this Administration has failed that principle miserably.
