So good luck with this passed this stupid arse judge.


A pardon does not remove all guilt.

It is generally acknowledged that a pardon does not compel an expungement of related criminal and judicial records. At least one federal court has addressed this issue, declaring: “[N]o proclamation of the executive has the power and authority ... to order expunction of court records under the aegis of restoring to the pardoned person ‘full ... other rights.’” Unlike states, many of which outline the circumstances under which a person may petition for an expungement of records, there is no general federal statutory procedure addressing how a federal felon can seek an expungement. Moreover, the courts have described expunction as an extraordinary remedy.

Do you know an an imputation of guilt is? I wouldn't advise copy and pasting the order if you don't understand what it says.


Additionally....the cited case is a 1915 case and is simply dicta. It was not a ruling the court made. It was a case about a person who did not accept a pardon. The court was opining on why he would do that. The court then made the statement you cite.

Again...you don't know how any of this works.

Nonsense. Did Nixon admit to any guilt before Ford pardoned him? Among thousands of other pardons that didn't include an admission of guilt.
Maybe I’m misremembering, but I thought accepting a pardon sans a conviction (applicable to Nixon) as an implied admission of guilt. That’s not applicable to many cases, including Arpaio’s, since someone else determined guilt, whether they were truly guilty or not.

This may be true...but that is not what the case you cited says. It merely says the pardoned party does not have a right to an expunction That is simply a records keeping and documentation issue. Has nothing to do with guilt or innocence.

You have absolutely no idea what a pardon does.

If you don't understand concepts, please don't try and pretend you do.

Yes. It removes all guilt.

Expunging court records of no significance is another issue

If it even matters anymore in the online world where its all published forever

Now if you are going to try to sue a guy because he was guilty of a federal crime and he gets a pardon those court records wont help you. He isnt guilty of a damn thing anymore

No. It IS true. Accepting a pardon, means accepting guilt. That's how a pardon works.

Trump can't make him innocent, he can only pardon him.

As Justice Stephen Field wrote in Ex parte Garland (1867), "If granted before conviction, it prevents any of the penalties and disabilities consequent upon conviction from attaching [thereto]; if granted after conviction, it removes the penalties and disabilities, and restores him to all his civil rights; it makes him, as it were, a new man, and gives him a new credit and capacity....A pardon reaches both the punishment prescribed for the offence and the guilt of the offender....so that in the eye of the law the offender is as innocent as if he had never committed the offence."

No. That's the opposite of what it does. It removes the penalty. To accept a pardon, is to accept guilt of the crime.

Ok so are you disagreeing with Justice Stephen Field? He LITERALLY says in what you quoted it removes the PENALTIES.

The only thing that matters are the penalties

In the case of an already existing conviction, wouldn't it just wanted your accepting they you're already convicted? You're not accepting that you're actually guilty, just that the criminal justice system already deemed you guilty, even if you main innocence.

No?

You should reread the quote that you posted. Maybe a few times until you feel like you really grasp the concept.

Accepting a pardon is accepting guilt. There's no 2 ways about it.

A president can pardon someone before they are even charged with a crime. A pardon is not an admission of guilt, nor is it an admission of innocence.
