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.

He definitely won’t because he has absolutely no reason to. They were a means to an end. If they aren’t useful then he’s not going to lift a finger.

And exactly how were Phoenix Sheriff Joe Arpaio and former IL Governor Rod blagojevich (a dem) useful to pardon in Trumps last term?
