Daily PUMA Column - Commentary by Alessandro Machi

Has anyone been pardoned by a president as quickly as Joseph Arpaio was by Donald Trump?

The pardon of Joseph Arpaio by Donald Trump is not the issue here. The issue is just how quickly should a president pardon a lawbreaker? Did Arpaio spend time in an actual jail cell? Mr. Arpaio actually held prisoners in tents in over 110 degree temperatures, and he doesn't spend any time in jail for the actions that he was found guilty by a judge?

Has any other president ever pardoned a lawbreaker so quickly? DailyPUMA presumes no, but could not find an answer as to the fastest pardon ever by a president. Trump's  premature Pardon of Joseph Arpaio seems like abuse of power. To not even wait at least six months to one year before pardoning Arpaio seems outrageous.

DailyPUMA wonders if what Mr. Trump did was actually a "pre-pardon" since Mr. Arpaio had not been sentenced yet. DailyPUMA wonders if Mr. Trump ejaculated prematurely with his presidential pardon. The judge should go ahead and sentence Mr. Arpaio because what Mr. Trump did was pardon a person who had not been sentenced yet, so the sentencing phase should still go on, and if common sense prevails, Mr. Trump should not be allowed to pardon Mr. Arpaio more than once, therefore Mr. Arpaio would still have to do his time.

If Mr. Trump ever faces impeachment charges, this entirely too fast pardon of Arpaio should be added to the Impeachment list. It's an abuse, pure and simple. What a self indulgent egomaniac we have as president, it's beyond comprehension.
