If Trump is prosecuted by DOJ, will DOJ's attorneys be able to strike a jury that doesn't have a "sleeper agent" juror, a ringer, who won't convict Trump, regardless of the evidence?
Mostly I agree with what youтАЩre saying then I look at Al Capone, John Gotti, and other mobsters like Trump and they were convicted so I have a tiny glimmer of hope.
Prof, you were en fuego on Politics Chat yesterday! Did Trump pardon Roger Stone, or just commute his sentence? If it's a commutation, this does not shield him from further prosecution as I understand it.
You are quite correct: The distinction between pardon and commutation are that a pardon is a complete remission of penalty by a sovereign power as authorized by law[iv]. But, a commutation of a sentence is only a substitution of a lesser punishment for a greater punishment. NO OTHER LANGUAGE REGARDING FURTHER PROSECUTION.
Heather, you're always a source of great reporting and insight. Thanks for your unfailing efforts. This is the first edit I've seen from you in over 2 years, and at all hours. I'm beginning to see some light at the end of this tunnel, both from the Democrats managing to orchestrate this production and their ability to put us in the front row as this the plot unfolds.
Edit here from "election" to "insurrection" in the paragraph about pardons. Sorry... it's late!
You had to process an avalanche of new information, don't know how you do it.

Not much, but some.
Plus the next Republican president (2024?) would immediately pardon everyone convicted in the тАЬfakeтАЭ insurrection.

He commuted sentences on 7 felony crimes.
Yipee! Only commutation!
When? IтАЩm in Switzerland. As that before he left office or are u talking about the original pardon?
Ah. Yes. July 2020 was commuting. Dec. 2020 was pardon.
Well then тАФMuhaha!

Today had to feel like drinking from the firehose!! Mind-boggling is putting it mildly.
Please get some rest. PLEASE.
No problem. The speed and accuracy of your work speaks for itself. Your writing is a gift to the ages.
Thank you! So much is happening so fast. It must feel almost impossible to keep up.
