A trial judge raised the possibility that another federal judge overseeing Michael Flynn’s case could find that President Donald Trump’s pardon of Flynn is too broad, if it unlawfully protects the former national security adviser from future prosecutions.
U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton said at a hearing Friday that he doesn’t think U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan, his colleague presiding over the Flynn case, “has a lot of options in reference to what he does” after the pardon was granted, “unless he takes the position that the wording of the pardon is too broad, in that it provides protections beyond the date of the pardon.”

None of the judge’s business.
bttt
None of the judge’s business.

Everything is their business. Just ask them.
yeah, let’s see Sullivan do it to show just how much he is after Flynn
Trump has time to do another pardon.
A pardon is a PARDON!! SORRY Judge....
Politically appointed judges have no Constitutional part in how the executive branch pardons anyone. If they don’t understand that then remove them.
This is why the founders did not want foreigners appointing judges...........
I think the judges now understand that our side plans to hand the Georgia elections to the Democrats and thus the courts will soon be packed.
...so, why should they keep acting like judges now that they’ll have the power to rule over us without recourse?
WTFF!?! the president’s article II pardoning power is unqualified for federal offenses.
Appointed by John Roberts
Rope, tree....that time is upon us.
Though I’m applying logic and not law, it seems to me that the question is irrelevant, applying only to past actions. It will only becomes an issue if General Flynn is accused of committing a new crime that occurred after the pardon, and he claims that the pardon excuses it.
Well, wait. If you read the story, the comment was an aside. He wondered if someone else might think it too broad.
We need a lot of those. Gov AZ. Gov SS GA
Sullivan will declare the pardon unconstitutional and invalid...............
Tough crap, Judge. Get over it. It’s done, and there ain’t a damn thing your whiny ass can do about it.
As other Freepers have said, MYOFB.
This is simply unbelievable.
