Isnāt an acceptance of pardon an admission of guilt?
So glad the Department of Justice is expending resources to preserve the rights of this fine gentleman! Every American should want to have just a little bit of her or his tax dollars going to support the interests of Sheriff Arpaio.
From DOJās own website:
Does a presidential pardon expunge or erase the conviction for which the pardon was granted?
No. Expungement is a judicial remedy that is rarely granted by the court and cannot be granted within the Department of Justice or by the President. Please also be aware that if you were to be granted a presidential pardon, the pardoned offense would not be removed from your criminal record. Instead, both the federal conviction as well as the pardon would both appear on your record.
I wonder on what grounds heās trying to get it wiped?
White Privilege?
I feel bad for that Criminal Division attorney, most likely a career prosecutor, who has to put his name on this crock.
There you go with technicalities again.
Jesus, Lord, these morons just havenāt got the brains god gave a tardigrade! It would be laughable if they werenāt actively striving to re-write precedent with all of the actions they takeā¦ They are going to leave this countries legal and political systems broken, smoking hulksā¦
This would be akin to the Ike, JFK or LBJ justice department siding with Bull Connor in Alabama. The historical comparison is just. Arpaio is that wreckless and incompetent.
D.O. (In) J. Will Fight Court Ruling, Support (criminal) Arpaio In Wiping Conviction From Record
Not sure there is enough toilet paper to wipe Arpaioās crap off.
What is the DOJ case going to be? The law doesnāt matter anymore, so says king drump?
Clearly the Department of Justice has become a political arm of the White House and our alt-president.
āWhile a presidential pardon will restore various rights lost as a result of the pardoned offense and should lessen to some extent the stigma arising from a conviction, it will not erase or expunge the record of your conviction.ā

I guess they plan to update thatā¦
Soā¦the DOJ IS going to become Donnieās private law firm. I guess we can expect the āinvestigationā of all things Hillary to go forward while listening to Republican screams of how ābiasedā Mueller is.
I hate these people.
But, itāll still be on his Wikipedia page, right? No expungement from that.

[/quote]He thought coming in that thatās how it worked. But thereās at least some resistance to directly helping Trump, although priorities as to what to address otherwise have certainly changed.
Regardless if this happens, there are certainly enough wealthy people in AZ to purchase a few bill boards (not that many roads in that state after all) and plaster his conviction records for all to see until the day he dies.
The DOJ is disgraced by its current occupants.
