I joined Brian Tyler Cohen this week for an in-depth discussion of Trump's pardons. We talked about Ross Ulbricht, Paul Walczak, the Chrisleys, and of course Pardon Attorney Ed Martin.
Liz, notwithstanding a pardon for federal charges, does it remain possible either for state authorities to bring criminal charges or civil claims or for private litigants to bring state law civil damages claims against the wrongdoers under state law? In other words, are there any circumstance under which state law claims against criminals can survive a presidential pardon under the concept of dual sovereignty?
All respect and admiration to you and your family for the sacrifices and risks you endure to fight the good fight for all of us!
L,
I understand why you did that.
But Preet is the guy that we must really admire, don't you think?
