Anthony Levandowski Pardoned
It&#x27;s important to note the reason the President has the power to pardon anyone for any reason is it&#x27;s one of the checks and balances, the Constitution is full of them. It&#x27;s meant as a check to blunt overzealous prosecutions.<p>Note that the President does <i>not</i> have the corresponding power to convict anyone.<p>An interesting set of pardons was when Andrew Johnson pardoned all the rebels in the Confederacy, including Jefferson Davis.<p>As far as I know, the only Confederate officers convicted and hanged were the ones running the POW camps. The crime was the brutal way they ran them, not rebellion.
