Just to complete the picture a bit, both Clinton and Bush pardoned people serving their own interests rather than those of the country. Nothing like the nonsense pardons from Trump, but they set the precedent. In a similar way, at Trumps certification, several Dems objected to the vote of states at that time, with no basis for doing so. So while Trump has taken things to a new level of absurdity, the dems actually did these things first  |
My comment wasn't specific to Trump though, I don't believe any President should be allowed pardon any criminal. That's what the justice system is there for, allowing 1 person (who most likely has vested interests) the power to over rule that system is a joke and actually a massive **** you to any victims of whichever person is freed
