The President has issued five pardons since becoming President. Three of them have the following in common.
1) They are kindred spirits of the President be it they are anti-immigrant or Anti Obama or a Birther or a "victim" of a special counsel.
2) They are symbols (signals) that the President can hold up to former associates now under investigation or prosecution by Robert Mueller and his team as signs of what they can get if they do not betray the President in a not so subtle attempt at witness tampering (we call it obstruction of justice).
When the founders gave the Pardoning Power to the President, they obviously did not envision a President like Trump or his team of the Worst and the Dumbest.
It would be a travesty if the President pardons the people who hold is legal future in his hands. It would be another step on the slippery slope towards Authoritarianism. This is a risk that we cannot ignore.
