    I mean, I’m not really sure presidential pardons should even exist, but they do, and it’s a problem that Trump is trying to get around them to persecute the opposition party.

        To be fair, someone willing to abuse pardons that wantonly is never meant to become President in the first place. The Electoral College was supposed to be one protection against that, but obviously that has been a massive failure.
