Is this a Federal case? If so, I wonder if Mr Giuliani is reaching out to Pres-elect Trump for a pardon on The First Day?

Many thanks for that reference.

It indicates to me that the President can issue a pardon for Federal crimes, but not civil or State crimes.

So I guess I should have asked if this particular crime is a civil crime? :)

fwiw, one thing I found in my attempt to see if this is a civil case is this...

... Giuliani vowed to file an appeal and told reporters, "I don't regret a damn thing" after leaving the courthouse. ...

Also found this ...

Congrats, you figured it out.

Bookmark that site. It's a gold star reference for all things Constitution, though it can be a bit dated sometimes.

I find Cornell's version friendlier. www.law.cornell.edu

Curious thing about the pardon power in light of the SC's recent immunity decision. Pardon is an enumerated Article II power thus is a core power that carries absolute immunity. Period. End of sentence.

A president could openly offer pardons to the highest bidder or could offer a prospective pardon to the assassin of an opposition politician and only Congress can do a d**n thing about it through impeachment. Period. End of sentence.

The US government is an honor system, Pubs have no honor. They absolutely would take the corn from a roadside farm stand and not put the money in the box.

Re: #7
They'd take the money box as well.

Years of lies, lawsuits and humiliations. Disbarred and out $150 million.

For what? The 2020 election wasn't overturned and Trump was reelected president anyway.

Giuliana is genius! A mastermind!

Rudy could play Gollum in the re-make of "The Hobbit" with his World Series ring as his "Precious". Were he still a member of the Bar, he might be worried about honking off a federal judge. I'll wager Rudy's memory will get much better with a day or two in MDC Brooklyn...
