Don't you have to be convicted in order to receive a pardon?

Apparently not.

In 1866, the Supreme Court ruled in Ex parte Garland that the pardon power "extends to every offence known to the law, and may be exercised at any time after its commission, either before legal proceedings are taken, or during their pendency, or after conviction and judgment."

Generally speaking, once an act has been committed, the president can issue a pardon at any time—regardless of whether charges have even been filed.

LONDON — Egypt, in what appeared to be a snub to the Trump administration, has reached a preliminary agreement to allow Russian military jets to use its airspace and bases, both sides said Thursday.

If finalized, the agreement would give Russia its deepest presence in Egypt since 1973, when Cairo expelled the military of the Soviet Union and instead became Washington’s closest Arab ally.

The United States has provided Egypt more than $70 billion in aid in the four decades since, at a rate of more than $1.3 billion a year in recent years. The cost is often justified in part by the argument that it secures the use of Egypt’s airspace and bases for the American military.

Egyptian and American analysts called the preliminary deal the latest sign of the waning influence of the United States as President Trump has diminished its military and diplomatic footprint in the region and the world.

Obama Wrecked U.S.-Egypt Ties
http://nationalinterest.org/feature/obama-wrecked-us-egypt-ties-12573
The administration’s painted-in-gray policy utterly confused Cairo, which is confronting multiple threats on multiple fronts, and therefore views things in black-and-white terms. The July 2013 ouster of Muslim Brotherhood leader Mohamed Morsi locked the Egyptian government in a violent, life-and-death struggle with the Brotherhood, whose supporters demanded Sisi’s execution, orchestrated a low-profile insurgency against state institutions, and called for “martyrdom” in a January 2015 statement declaring “jihad.” Meanwhile, the Egyptian military began a major offensive against Sinai-based jihadis in September 2013, and launched a series of airstrikes against jihadis in Libya starting in August 2014.

So as bombs exploded in major Egyptian cities, and as hundreds of security forces were killed in Sinai and the Western Desert, and as the broader region continued its descent into unprecedented chaos, Cairo had one question for Washington: are you with us or against us? The Egyptian government, in other words, didn’t view the Obama administration’s withholding of F-16 fighter jets as an affirmation of Washington’s commitment to democracy. Rather, Cairo saw the move as a significant blow to its long-term security at perhaps the most dangerous moment in contemporary Middle Eastern history.

Therefore, with the generous help of its Persian Gulf allies, Egypt sought to satisfy its defense needs elsewhere. It signed a $5.5 billion deal to buy 24 Rafale fighter jets from France, and is negotiating a $3.5 billion arms deal with Russia.

Well, let him pardon Kushner. Once he does, Kushner can be compelled to testify -- without the protection of the Fifth Amendment.

Hard to say. They're already looking at obstruction charges for Twittler; that might just fuel to the fire. Plus Flynn's no doubt already spilled his guts to the FBI; can't put that horse back in the barn. I also think that Flynn is cooperating for fear that his son might go down too.

IN a clear sign a deal has been cut, Michael Flynn has been charged with the lesser charge of Lying to the FBI.


Not a NOTHING BURGER!

The Presidents National Security Adviser charged with lying to the FBI, a federal crime.

you should know better then to blame any distance of US/Egyptian relations on Trump.

What happened is Obama put sanctions on Sisi because he led a junta government-as required by Congress-
but not at the request of Congress.

Basically Obama was acting against el-Sisi human rights abuses. Which are real.
But to do so he had to allow the Russians to fill in the weapons supply void -since that what was sanctioned.

Obama threw away a long term exclusive Egypt relationship for making an (un-needed) point about human rights.
And that allows Russia to now work on Libya ( which they are doing -all 3 governments)
as well as cement gains in Syria..

If you still think that has anything to do with MAGA -feel free -but i think you're more intelligent than that,
no matter any partisanship
