-- Judge Sullivan is the one in CONTEMPT for completely ignoring the DOJ's dropping of all charges. --

Indeed. The public should view him with contempt, he is a contemptible person, and it is a travesty that he sits on the bench.

But my point was to distinguish what the law views as "offenses against the United States" from "impeachment" and "offenses against the court."

POTUS does not have universal pardon power. He can not pardon a state offense, or a parking ticket, or an impeachment. His pardon power is to offenses against the United States.

Criminal contempt is not an offense against the United States.

In any case and IMO, if the DOJ drops charges against a defendant, anything occurring since inception of said defendant's trial is ERASED, including any guilty pleas.

That's my view and I'm sticking to it!
