New York Attorney General Poised To Pounce On Trump Pardons

[Lakhota]

New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman has asked lawmakers to amend the state’s double jeopardy law so pardoned Trump aides could be held accountable for criminal activity.

“Presidents have used this power sparingly, largely to do justice, rather than subvert it,” Eric Schneiderman writes.

New York’s attorney general has asked officials to change state law so President Donald Trump’s aides can be tried for any criminal acts committed in the state, even if they have been given a presidential pardon.

In a letter sent to New York’s top lawmakers, including Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo, Attorney General Eric Schneiderman (D) said that he was troubled by Trump’s frequent discussion of his ability to issue pardons and that he was worried those who had committed crimes in the state would escape prosecution. New York has a double jeopardy law that prevents individuals from being charged with the same crime twice, even if the charges originated at the federal level.

“New York’s statutory protections could result in the unintended and unjust consequence of insulating someone pardoned for serious federal crimes from subsequent prosecution for state crimes,” Schneiderman wrote in the letter, dated April 18. “Even if that person was never tried or convicted in federal court, and never served a single day in federal prison.”

New York currently has 12 exceptions carved out of its double jeopardy law, and Schneiderman has proposed the pardon issue be carved out in a similar fashion. The Constitution protects against multiple prosecutions for the same offense, but only at the federal level.

“Since the Nation’s founding, presidents have used this power sparingly, largely to do justice, rather than subvert it,” Schneiderman writes in his letter. “Yet recent reports indicate that the President may be considering issuing pardons that may impede criminal investigations.”

Sounds like a very wise move by the NY AG. What do you think?

Double jeopardy didn't prevent the prosecution of Marc Rich, Rich's behavior no longer being illegal did.

It sounds like a state AG doing his job, enforcing the laws of his state, ensuring that those who violate his state’s laws are brought to justice, consistent with the Constitution, due process, and the rule of law.

The lefts war on just law continues. What could possibly go wrong with ending double jeapordy protections? Just keep prosecuting a case over and over until the defendant is bankrupt and can’t hire a lawyer or contradicts previous testimony in any way then get them for perjury.

The left won’t be happy until we have a system of law that looks like the Salem witch trials.

Yes, just one more "great idea" of a Democrat's way to get around the actual laws to harass a few republican small fish in the pond until, like Harry Reid's changes to the Senate a few year back, they are used to do the same thing to some Democrats while a Democrat is president, at which time the Left will scream bloody murder.

Where were these state AG's back when Slick Willy was pardoning REAL criminals like Marc Rich? They were off pounding their puds!

Hey moron, a presidential pardon IS the law. It supersedes all other laws. And Trump doesn't even know Scooter Libby so he is far from being one of "his friends." But I'll remember you thought this was a good idea for the day when it is used against one of your buddies and you are screaming bloody murder. Idiot.

You know, your state has a dual sovereignty law that allows them to ignore double jeopardy for certain cases...
