That's simply not correct. The President's pardon power is absolute. He does not even need to run it through DOJ, etc. A signed letter would have been sufficient.
This gets overturned on appeal
Meanwhile I can’t think of one BLM/Antifa commie who got sentenced for throwing Molotov cocktails at cops
I’m sure you have documentation of all of this... Surely Trump released memos, recordings, other evidence of such activity, right?
(Playing devil’s advocate here...)
There are plenty of instances where not being physically present at a “crime scene” is a defense against a conspiracy to commit said crime.
For instance... if a woman hires someone to kill her husband, gives the hitman information about where her husband will be and when, and then goes to get her hair done during the attack. She’s absolutely part of a conspiracy even if she’s under the hair dryer when the attack happens.
I’m not saying that this guy hired anyone to do anything. I’m just giving an example of how his physical presence at a “crime” (or lack thereof) isn’t pertinent to a conspiracy charge.
