Pardons for members of government for actions they took from the seat of government just removes the public’s ability to hold our government accountable. We already have too little accountability.
Further because pardons are more likely to be political in nature it allows for a regime to entirely protect themselves when and if they commit abuses of power.
No, as Biden showed today, when an incoming member of government is directly threatening members of the former administration, those people deserve to be protected.
Due process.
