Ha! Like they know what Trump will do…
So, following Trump WH logic, this means that Trump will pardon Arpaio at the rally.
It would be hard to Pardon someone not yet sentenced methinks.
But AZ would go off the rails if he did.
At least my house would.

Thankfully I’m 120 miles south of that craziness.
I’m hoping one of the networks, the WP or the NYT publish a juicy distraction shortly before show time…
Trump: It will be in my 3AM tweet sometime this week. You can all start betting the day.
He received a 6 month sentence.
I hope there’s snacks in the limo in case they are trapped in the convention center for several hours or days and a judge in case Pence has to have the oath administered in case Trump’s swarmed by killer bees or a pack of chupacabra…
Trump should beg Arizona’s pardon and stay away.
If the chupacabra just aim for the fatty parts of Trump they’ll be feasting for days…
Sorry,… I missed that
“I, Donald J. Trump, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by this tweet do grant…”
All in 140-character increments.
Where have you gone, Joe Arpaio?
Our nation turns its wrathful scorn on you
Boo-fucking-hoo!
(H/T: Paul Simon. And apologies!)
And I still think that motherfucker Trump will eventually pardon the prick.
It would be novel to see trump charged with incitement to riot.
New, situational Trump will lead an ironic chant of “Lock Me Up!”
Maybe not formally, but just wait…
The question then becomes (like the transgender troops tweet) – if a President says he’s pardoning someone in a speech, does that have the force of law?
Like “Oops…pardon me for stepping on your toes”?
edit
Once again I’ll not be listening to trump’s blatherings. I will have better thinks with which to occupy my time…
There’s absolutely ZERO reason to hedge unless he’s going to do it. So, enjoy watching Arpaio get pardoned.
Arpaio was convicted of a misdemeanor offense. Why would he need a pardon for that, other than to send a message to the white supremacist crowd?
Bet he does. Just so he can show Kelly “You’re not the boss of me!”
