Will president Rand Paul pardon Ross?

Highly unlikely. Even if Rand personally wants to either pardon Ross Ullbricht, or to reduce his sentence, his colleagues in the Republican party will not allow him to do that. The right-wing religious nuts within the Republican party will revolt against Rand, and they will accuse him of siding with drug dealers and pedophiles. His reputation will be permanently tarnished.

I admit I am a bit naive when it comes to politics, but I'm talking about if he becomes president. Wouldn't he be leading the party if that happened?
