No, this is fair. Trump’s pardons were very much worse in terms of who he actually pardoned but it’s been a week of just blatant abuse of the pardon power in general, and Biden’s actions also play into why we should question it’s future

Biden legit helped a cop killer get out of prison? And pardon his family who he said he would never do and said it would be abuse. Sorry that is abuse of pardon too.
I would agree trumps is worse cause he pardon people who commit treason to help him stay in power. And what’s more worse is he is doing it as he enters office not when he is leaving office. Showing that in his presidency if you commit crime for him you have protection.

One would think that proceduralism fetishists would’ve caught on by now.
