In my world...presidents have pardoned many people. Some should have been, some not so much.
To me this is just another way to get Trump.
In the old days I trusted the president to make these decisions based on careful deliberation, weighing the facts and circumstances, looking at factors such as maybe the inmate's health, how close the inmate is to the end of his term, or maybe the inmate did something to redeem himself. Sadly, these days I can't trust Trump to make many decisions without there being something off -- maybe even suspicious -- in his motivation. He's been trying, either directly or indirectly, to assert himself into the Stone case and complaining that his buddy was unjustly accused, tried and convicted -- without any proof that there was any such injustice. And in the Bojo case, Trump supporters have been making similar allegations, again without proof.
So what's going on here? Is Trump trying to usurp the judicial branch? Yes, the Founders put into place the system of checks and balances. But it seems like he and those who support him want him to have some powers over the judicial branch not contemplated by the Founders.
By the way, Trump has made some good pardons. Scooter Libby and Dinesh D'Souza come to mind. The ones yesterday -- I'm not so sure.
