And all of it is worse than bad. With Harvey as a distraction for the next week he could/will take advantage and do even more harm.

The Orange Menace decides to pardon Arpaio and punish transgenders while he plays in Camp David.

Chris seems apoplectic. So does Jill Wine-Banks.

This guy's claim to fame (really shame) was that he taught law-breakers a lesson with his tough jail policies. And now he walks away, free, flaunting the law with the help of Trump. Disgusting.

And, therefore a criminal who ran a racist, illegal operation.

The only way a pardon works is by admitting guilt, per SCOTUS. Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt.
