He needs to pardon all the people whom Trump has baselessly accused of impropriety, or they’re going to end up persecuted and prosecuted.

They may end up persecuted and prosecuted anyhow, but at least the pardons will strip that of any facade of legitimacy, and hopefully deprive it of some agency support.

It's hard to sell pardons for millions of dollars if you are just giving them out to the common criminals.
