A federal judge says he's found probable cause to hold the Trump administration in criminal contempt of court and could seek officials’ prosecution for violating his orders last month to turn around planes carrying deportees to an El Salvador prison.
The President, yes. The rest of the administration, no.
That’s why Donny has the golden ticket get out of jail free card
Sure, but the president can (and will) pardon any of them.
You can’t pardon a contempt charge.
Really?
Apparently not really. It already happened with Sheriff Joe Arpaio. This country is fucked lmao.

I mean, a congress member seems to be saying he can. If he “can’t” he’ll do it anyways, it’ll go to the supreme court and they’ll say it’s fine.

Edit: apparently that’s actually part of what Joe Arpaio was pardoned for.
