1. Snippet of pardon law from 2017 in the context of a crime boss in the @WhiteHouse. And I'll add that a dangle, offer and act of pardoning a witness can be bribery, tampering and conspiracy by the official and his/her staff. Sorry Roger. Suck it up. @TheJusticeDept @FBIWFO

2. If Trump pardon's him, Roger has to talk. Also I don't see that a pardon works for an ongoing conspiracy. The defendant who has not withdrawn, still agrees to the conspiracy and agreeing to not testify with one overt act and conspiracy liability comes back to life. #Lazarus.

3. Easy fact pattern: Bob BankRobber plans a bank robbery with Cal Conspirator. Bob gets caught after agreement and overt act and charged with conspiracy. Pres DirtyDon pardons Bob who agrees to refuse to testify against Cal. Assume an overt act in furtherance of conspiracy.

4. . Doesn't that make Bob liable for a new charge of conspiracy to commit bank robbery? Post-pardon agreement and overt act with knowledge of at least one criminal purpose of the conspiracy?

5. Now let's change it. Bob is driving the get away car and while he's driving Pres DirtyDon pardons him for the bank robbery conspiracy. Then Bob arrives at the bank and commits the robbery. Did the pardon cover the subsequent robbery?

You're all going to prison @WhiteHouse.
