[GOYABEAN]

A bill that would enable New York prosecutors to bring cases against those who have received presidential pardons was signed into law on Wednesday, Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s office announced.
“No one is above the law and New York will not turn a blind eye to criminality, no matter who seeks to protect them,” Cuomo said.

"No one is above the law..."

Can't believe his dick polishers actually uttered those words.

So if Obama pardoned Killary, will the NY bring a case against her?

 

[masterswimmer]

Quite sure he means selective prosecution.

Who gets to play Roland Freisler's role? Can any judge do it, or will our fearless leader appoint someone?

There is state law, there is federal law. The president can only pardon federal law. I have a massive personal beef with that and it is pitiful, but does this bill allow NY, in the case of a pardon, to decide to temporarily put federal law on the books and charge as a state offense?

Wait but didnt he pardon a bunch of people and give them voting rights back?


And to be fair I believe anyone who has been pardoned or fully paid their debt to society should get all their rights back

Interesting that Trump fired Preet Bharara. Andy probably would've been doing hard time by now.

And welcome in the first black female governor of NYS Ms. Letitia James!!!

Don’t think so. Preet is part of the SWAMP!

If someone is pardoned that means they were convicted, trying them again would be double jeopardy right?

 

[Saltwater60]

Not sure exactly how they can do this. It’s just another shot across the bow of trump.

 

[BuffNiag]

Don’t think so. Preet is part of the SWAMP!

Got convictions for Skelos and Silver. Made allusion that FUAC was next.

What about all the illegals?
They broke the law.

This is what I'm saying. Cuomo has no authority over federal issues. If someone is guilty of a federal crime, the state has nothing to do with it and has no authority over it. The feds do. So this law is retarded and seemingly just for show. This guy really knows how to waste money.

Skelos has been in jail for awhile. Silver remains free but that’s because of some indecisive judge. Not Bharara’s fault.

Ford pardoned Nixon even though Nixon was never convicted of anything if I recall correctly. As others have pointed out a presidential pardon is for federal crimes and apparently does not impact state level offenses.

I am curious about the motivation and background behind this move. Why now?

It doesn’t matter. This isn’t about a useful piece of legislation it’s about giving sugar to the leftist lemmings who have no clue how gov works

Right, well the words "useful" and "Cuomo" don't belong in the same sentence anyway.
