> Reminds of Biden pardoning his relatives without even saying for what. Just blanked pardon for everything. No democrat dropped his jaw.

Everyone I talked to (more than 10, including myself) that I knew who voted for Biden was pissed, disappointed, even angry at his pardoning of Hunter.

That was incredibly corrupt and many Democrats in fact "dropped [their] jaws." And it's not the only instance of political corruption like this, either (Bill Clinton notoriously did something similar). Neither of these cases retroactively justify Trump pardoning anyone who sends him a few million dollars.

He was pretty explicit about the reason why.

He feared Trump would force the DOJ to prosecute them.

And, based on what Trump's done so far with the DOJ and his enemies, he was right to do so.

If the goal of the pardon was to handle a corrupt Judicial branch, then a better answer would have been for the Executive branch to nominate someone for a pardon to the Legislative and require a 2/3 majority of the Legislative to approve.

But something like that would fly in the face of the "Unitary Executive" insanity and would (I suspect) require a constitutional amendment, which is no longer remotely feasible.

In no part of my post was there anything about my president vs. your president.

That's not the point of the comment.

A first comment said "without saying why". The second comment just says that this is blatantly not true, and that the rationale presented has been since confirmed as a very accurate prediction.
