"A U.S. district judge may refuse to rescind Sheriff Joe Arpaio’s conviction for ignoring a court order, despite President Donald Trump’s pardon, according to a Thursday filing."

From what I’ve read,if she keeps the conviction,all his “victims” can sue him
I’ll get the popcorn!
Having personally met Judge Bolton when I was working with the SB1070 team in Arizona in 2010, I can tell you former Sheriff Arpaio had ZERO chance of Bolton overturning the conviction. She is a hard core liberal activist who relished her own dismantling of the then-landmark AZ immigration law, and showed shockingly callous disregard for victims of illegal immigration. She does not belong on that court, or any other. Now or later, Trump's pardon would have had the same effect, as it was a political witch hunt.
Could happen. This is yet another example of why, at some point, citizens wanting their country’s restoration, will rise up and say NO MORE.
After her arrest, she will ask the President for a pardon. Lib logic.
That is a twist I didn’t imagine.
What part of pardon does she fail to understand? Its over. The president has set the conviction aside. Its not up to her.
How did that 6-months-or-less loophole get created? It gives the authorities arbitrary power to lock people up for supposed offenses which an impartial jury would not find them guilty of...as in this case.

Another case of the Libs usurping our Constitution, and the system going along with it.
How did that 6-months-or-less loophole get created?

I’m not a legal expert so I have no idea how it was created. By legislation would
be my guess. You may search around the net for Federal Rules and find something.
One of countless clueless judges.
Post-17th Amendment? Not a chance.
Another Judge that thinks they have more power than the President
This is no surprise. Judicial activism has always taken precedence over the clear words and direct meaning of the Constitution, at least in the minds of the Ctrl-Left.
He wasn’t convicted. He was found in contempt of court. No jury.
Any wat for The Doald to reassign this bitch to Quaduleen?
President Trump just has to ordered the DOJ and the FBI mark the charge against Arpaio as pardoned and the judge cannot do a thing. I doubt that this prick of a judge even knows how to enter his rulings into law enforcement databases.
Impeach the judge in the House, and convict in the Senate.
It’s worked before.

From the Department of Justice:
Does a presidential pardon expunge or erase the conviction for which the pardon was granted?
No. Expungement is a judicial remedy that is rarely granted by the court and cannot be granted within the Department of Justice or by the President. Please also be aware that if you were to be granted a presidential pardon, the pardoned offense would not be removed from your criminal record. Instead, both the federal conviction as well as the pardon would both appear on your record. However, a pardon will facilitate removal of legal disabilities imposed because of the conviction, and should lessen to some extent the stigma arising from the conviction. In addition, a pardon may be helpful in obtaining licenses, bonding, or employment. If you are seeking expungement of a federal offense, please contact the court of conviction. If you are seeking expungement of a state conviction, which the Office of the Pardon Attorney also does not have authority to handle, states have different procedures for “expunging” a conviction or “clearing” the record of a criminal conviction. To pursue relief of a state conviction, you should contact the Governor or state Attorney General in the state in which you were convicted for assistance.
