Pardons, Commutations and Dropped Prosecutions Catch-All

[ZZLPHeels]

33 months.

Let the pardon countdown commence.

I think a pardon would certainly be warranted here. We’ll see.

There are videos out there involving shootouts where dozens if not hundreds of rounds are fired from the outside of a residence into the interior and no police officers were charged. I know you may think it is “racist” to believe that it is overkill to send a man to prison for the rest of his life for returning fire after being fired upon, but that is mostly a reflection of your own insecurities.

I didn't say he should get life. But obviously the judge disagreed with you. Which isn't a surprise because what he did was wrong and should be punished. I'm not sure how "my own insecurities" whatever you have in mind relates to anything on this thread but whatever.

33 months is a pretty light sentence, I would think -- but since I am not intimately familiar with the evidence introduced, I will refrain from offering anything more this offhand remark. One day was comical.

One day may be one more than he actually serves. Odds are pretty good that Trump pardons before Harkinson is due to report to prison.

“… In a motion filed late Tuesday, federal prosecutors sought to dismiss an indictment accusing Andrew Wiederhorn, ex-CEO of the company that owns the Fatburger and Johnny Rockets chains, of carrying out a $47 million “sham loan” scheme.

Prosecutors also sought to dismiss charges against L.A. County sheriff’s deputy Trevor Kirk, who has already been convicted and sentenced in an excessive force case after he attacked a woman in a supermarket parking lot in 2023.

… Days before Essayli’s initial appointment in April, Adam Schleifer, the assistant U.S. attorney handling the criminal case against Wiederhorn, was fired at the behest of the White House.

Schleifer alleged in appealing the decision that his firing was motivated in part by his prosecution of Wiederhorn, a Trump donor who has maintained his innocence.…”
