One, the power of the presidential pardon is just that the president alignment. I concede he has the authority. I'm asking, was he wrong to do it? And as we discussed in our private meeting, Senator, I have always rejected any violence against law enforcement.

And I do not agree with the commutation of any sentence of any individual who committed violence against law enforcement. (02:05–02:10)
