This opinion was DOA (dead on arrival)! Sounds more like a vendetta than an opinion. The sheriff doesn't deserve a pardon because he is the law. He needs to feel the journey of those he swiftly condemns. He should be required to be a prison quota and work for $1 /a day on those multimillion $ prison contracts that give money back to law enforcement for the recruitment of slave laborers. 
Furthermore, 45 shouldn't announce if you commit a crime and you're with me - I'll pardon you. That's what he did and is the real story. The notion he is more appalled by Harris than 45's comments is frightening. I would have preferred that approach much more than this weak I don't like her and I am going to mislead others to not like her. Is the journalist afraid of women in authority? Minority women in authority? Women in the workplace? Harris potential? Qualified women? Did he date her?
He sounds like someone who is afraid of equality, liberty and justice for all. Don't bleed on your readers.
