Episode Synopsis

President Trump is hinting at pardoning certain military members accused of various war crimes. But there is a twist... They haven't been convicted yet. Can a President commandeer the government's prosecutorial authority over its own military members?
Also, can the President start a war without the approval of Congress? What are the limits on Presidential Pardons and War Powers? This week Attorney hosts Franz and Rich discuss these issues on the latest episode of Legally Unfiltered.
