    I know, but I was saying, even if, hypothetically he could, he wouldn’t. Because a politician willing to do such a pardon would never get elected in the first place, no matter how left you get.

    I doubt even a President Bernie Sanders would do it (again, if presidents could pardon state crimes) even if he personally is okay with the perpetrator’s actions, he still would not use a pardon for it, cuz doing so is basically asking for an elite to assasinate you.
