Man, this is a really bad precedent to be setting. First pardoning family members, then handing out pardons for “future crimes” to political allies. Imagine if Trump considered doing this shit, how poorly that would be received.
Seems like a quick way to make a farce of the pardon system.

I feel like there’s only one way this could be pushed further to the limit: by a president (like Trump) pardoning himself.
