Also: Presdential pardons of political allies have been unpopular! People really don't like it! Examples: Ford pardons Nixon; Biden pardons his kid and (preemptively) various allies; Trump pardons Jan 6 criminals. All unpopular!
President Trump told an interviewer he would pardon his aides if Democrats win control of Congress and begin investigating him.
Which .... wouldn't stop Congress from investigating him but would make it harder for witnesses to take the fifth?

Surprise, surprise: Trump, who routinely pardons fraudsters and presides over the most corrupt administration ever, has no interest in actually addressing waste, fraud, and abuse.
Apparently, fraud is only a problem when they can scapegoat Somali Minnesotans.

Q: If the administration has declared on waste and fraud, could you explain the $420 million overpayment for a prison in Appleton, MN, when they company offered it to the state for $75m?
BESSENT: I don't know anything about that. That's a waste of our time.

I feel pardons are a mechanism for mercy to either correct systemic injustice or serve in the public interest. It's not a "get out of jail free card" from a Monopoly board game, but that's essentially how Trump uses it, and that needs to end retroactively. Pardons are a salve; not a sledge.

We have to treat the Trump administration as what it actually is
A criminal organization
His term as president must be treated as a crime scene.
His pardons must be suspended
His minions and thugs removed from office and prosecuted for any crimes committed.

Raskin and Jayapal also tell me they're mulling aggressive subpoenaing of *mid-level players* executing corrupt prosecutions. Trump/WH will try to ignore subpoenas but will *all* underlings do so? Defunding is answer to flouting of subpoenas too.
