Innocent people don’t need pardons. And before Trumpers say ‘they didn’t do anything wrong and that’s what pardons are for!’ No. If you’re truly innocent and did no crime, you don’t need one.

Pardons aren't an abuse of power, but Trump has largely bypassed the the Office of the Pardon attorney in the DOJ, which traditionally served an advisory role. Instead, he has granted mostly unilaterally, and mostly to his connections. That's suspicious.https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/most-clemency-grants-bypass-doj-and-go-to-well-connected-offenders/2020/02/03/4e8f3eb2-21ce-11ea-9c2b-060477c13959_story.html …
