How can you pardon someone who has committed no crime and has never been convicted of any crime? Pardon them? How about stop making stupid noises as if they have done anything wrong.

“How can you pardon someone who has committed no crime and has never been convicted of any crime?”

It’s a lawyer’s trick: by “accepting” a pardon, all of the individuals pardoned implicitly acknowledge they have committed a crime:

“A pardon by Mr. Obama would be based on his judgment that those in the prior administration had violated the law by authorizing conduct “specifically intended to inflict severe physical or mental pain or suffering,” but that there were important public policy reasons not to prosecute them for their crimes.”

And, of course, not accepting a “generously” offered pardon would seem churlish to the ignorant public. Lanny Davis wants to put all these individuals between a rock and a hard place. He essentially wants to convict all without the benefit of such niceties as introduction of evidence, trial by jury of one’s peers etc. All proposed by Lanny Davis: ardent defender of civil liberties. ROFLMAOTIME.
