It’s settled in the sense that commutation may, but isn’t required, to include parole, supervised release, fines, assessments, etc. There may need to be more paperwork on the secondary issues.

But doesn’t really seem to be the judge’s business.

Strangely NO JUDGE ever questioned ANY of Bill Clinton's or Obunga's Pardons.

Gee.. I wonder why? /s

Maybe the memo is mailed when we are 61 but we don’t get it until we are 81 or something

What on earth are we talking about again?

Dear Judge Berman,

So as to help you avoid you all the work of drafting the most intrusive restrictions on Mr. Stone’s life I’ve decided to give Mr. Stone a complete pardon for any criminal acts he may or may not have committed since the day of his birth.

Hope this helps.

PDJT

PS: I’ve also asked the judiciary committee to investigate possible grounds for your impeachment for not ordering a mistrial in light of the jury foreperson’s obvious political bias, lies and brow-beating her fellow jurors to reach a conviction.

Of course this information would be passed along to the House after we re-take control of the House. Justice delayed is justice denied.

;-)

It is my understanding that a pardon IS absolute and total. In other words, the crime never existed. However, a commutation has some variability. A President could commute a 10 Year sentance down to 5 years for example. So there is some variability in what the President could do with regards to the commutation.

Yes, I keep tripping up because some people like Senator Graham keep saying he is “in his 70s”.

The President has released the commutation order. It appears that in the order the commutation is very specific.

No prison
No supervised release
No fine

Since I did not have the order, I was willing to allow for some “reasonable” clarification. However, in reading the order, I find it hard to imagine what would still need to be clarified.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson is a complete moron. She is another Barack Obama stooge or can’t you tell? She knows full well that the intent is complete exoneration of the charges. She is just playing games. She is a typical democrat.
