Federal judge refuses to erase Joe Arpaio's conviction despite Trump pardon

A federal judge on Thursday shot down former sheriff Joe Arpaio’s bid to sweep his criminal record clean.

Arpaio, the controversial former lawman in Arizona’s Maricopa County, was granted a pardon by President Trump on Aug. 25. He had been found guilty of criminal contempt of a federal court order after a five-day bench trial earlier this year and faced the possibility of up to six months in jail. After the pardon, the 85-year-old Arpaio petitioned the court to clear his record and prevent the ruling from being used in future litigation.

The case raised the novel question of how far a presidential pardon actually reaches.

In her ruling, U.S. District Judge Susan R. Bolton said the pardon only freed Arpaio from possible punishment. In a four-page order offering a check on the president’s executive power, Bolton wrote that a pardon could not erase the facts of the case
 
Got to be an "Obama judge"

Actually she was appointed by Clinton, so I guess she's a "Clinton judge," or maybe, just a judge

What does the law say on this? Is it customary for a pardon to clear the record?

A pardon is NOT the same as a reversal of conviction. A pardon means - we forgive you though you still did it.

Why is this news? A pardon only takes away future punishment, not the conviction.

You mean like Kavanaugh was just AN appointee not a Trump appointee which prompted you haters to lie about him and even get a drunken slut to do your bidding for you.

As we all know, Bart is the drunk. He likes beer. He really really likes beer. And I just hope his wife can keep him away from his daughters when he's binging.
