New York state lawmakers passed a measure Tuesday that would allow prosecutors to pursue state charges against certain individuals even if they have received a presidential pardon, a move seen as a direct shot at President Donald Trump.
New York's state Assembly passed the measure — which creates a narrow exception in the state's double-jeopardy law — by a 90-52 vote. New York law currentlythe state from prosecuting a person who has already been tried for the same crime by the federal government. The bill would make it easier for prosecutors in certain circumstances to pursue a case against someone who has received a presidential pardon for the federal conviction.
The exception would allow state prosecutors to open or advance investigations into any pardoned individual who served in a president's administration, worked directly or indirectly to advance their campaign or transition, or worked at a non-profit or business controlled by the president and whose alleged criminal activity took place in New York state. The exception also allows for investigations to be opened or continued into anyone who was pardoned for the president's benefit.
"The rule of law is a core pillar of our nation's democracy and my primary role is to uphold it and ensure that no one is above it," she added.
He is the first President who pardon’s the right people. Clinton and O’Bama basically held auctions for pardons.
...it's like every Alien movie ever where we need to find out the weakness of the Alien after it's become clear the Alien wants to take over our planet and not just visit for awhile.
Big Deal. The fact that this criminal has pardon power or was able to appoint judges in the first place is a travesty to America.

The good schools will go to shit. The bad schools will remain shit. Well done. Here in Rochester the segregated CSD is surrounded by all-white suburbs with some of the best, ritziest schools in the US. Can’t imagine how outraged the fancy parents in Pittsford would be if we tried to integrate the schools (there’s no honest nonracist reason for opposition) People mean well, but this never works. Affirmation action brought minority students to my college. They sat together during meals, formed their own Greek organizations, etc.. So what's the point
