Описание: Federal Judge Patricia Kavanaugh just issued a 94-page ruling declaring three of Trump's pardons exceeded constitutional boundaries—the first time a federal court has placed substantive limits on presidential clemency. The case centers on Trump's attempt to pardon Tina Peters, a Colorado county clerk serving a 9-year STATE prison sentence for election system tampering. The Constitution limits pardons to federal offenses only. When the judge asked the government's lawyer: "Can the president pardon a state murder conviction?"—the attorney hesitated 10 seconds before saying the administration's position was "evolving." The judge's response: "Evolving is not a legal standard, counsel." 38 attorneys general from both parties filed the challenge. The ruling also revealed lobbyists paid up to $6 million for successful pardon applications, and Trump's clemency chief Ed Martin described the philosophy as "No MAGA left behind." Trump has pardoned 1,600+ individuals including 1,500 January 6th defendants—wiping out $1.3 billion in victim restitution. 33 pardoned rioters have already been rearrested. Trump attacked three Republican AGs who joined the petition, calling them "traitors."
