Judge Questions Whether Trump’s Pardon of Michael Flynn Is 'Too Broad'

Law ^

[AFB-XYZ]

I believe you’re 100% correct. Very well stated.

[reasonisfaith]

No, everything is stolen by them.

Stolen.

Not theirs.

Everything!

[Governor Dinwiddie]

America will never be free until we can "disappear" renegade judges, à la Judge Joe Crater.

[CodeToad]

The out of control judge should already have been prosecuted for violation of civil rights.

[be-baw]

Tough titty. Trump unquestionaby has the power to do what he did with the Flynn pardon, and if a judge or anyone else for that matter thinks it was too broad, there is nothing he can do about it.

[cuban leaf]

Does he have some overdue VHS tapes at Blockbuster?

[DesertRhino]

The pardon power is plenary, absolute. This judge should know that and the supremes will make that clear. Flynn nor his lawyer should never appear for that case again. The pardon ended the case.

I TELL YA WHAT’S TOO BROAD, A JUDGE TURNING LOOSE A KILLER THAT KILLS AGAIN AND FACE TO CRIMINAL CHARGES FOR IT. CORRUPT JUDGES APLENTY

[taxcontrol]

Hey Judge, read the Constitution and then tell me what limitations are on the Presidential pardon power. There are almost NONE.

[elpadre]

I haven’t read the pardon message, but it should state that it covers this current ordeal Gen. Flynn has endured and any future prosecution on the same set of facts.

[DoughtyOne]

To bad...

It’s over.

[silent majority rising]

Take it up with the Supreme Court.

[shotgun]

So this judge is questioning the constitutionally protected broad authority of a presidential pardon, but has no problem with a US District court judge issuing nationwide injunction based solely upon their opinion.

Got it...

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

Pegging the gaydar.

[\/\/ayne]

It’s all out war; even President Trump didn’t understand the extent of it. I think he does now, though.

[Leep]

“protects the former national security adviser from future prosecution”

Where has this idiot judge been for the past 5 years?

[ought-six]

Uh, I think Ford pardoned Nixon for “crimes” past and future re: Watergate.

[high info voter]

TOO BROAD???? How about the phony ass indictment and entrapment scam that started in the White House with Obama, Biden, Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Susan Rice??????

I'll tell you where the indictments should be!!!

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Anyone have Sullivan’s home address? Time for a “mostly peaceful protest,” methinks.

[JohnBovenmyer]

Ask them judge about Jimmy Carter’s pardon of Clinton and all the other draft resisters and about Andrew Johnson’s blanket pardon after the Civil War.
