The object of a system of authority is order, not justice. Justice matters only after injustice sufficiently compromises order.

  • … and he will be released.

    It doesn’t work like that. The only way he gets out is if the Governor of Minnesota orders it and Gov. Tim Walz wouldn’t.

    He doesn’t care about mechanisms because that’s for someone else to worry about.

    There ISN’T a mechanism, it simply doesn’t exist. Trump can write the pardon if he wants but it would be meaningless. It wouldn’t remove the conviction, wouldn’t end his sentence, and wouldn’t effect his release.

    It’d be like Germany issuing a pardon for someone convicted of a crime in Spain and trying to order them released. They can issue the pardon and make the order but there’s absolutely no way to enforce it short of direct military action.
