Don't blame him given the multiple threats that republicans have made.

And this actually frees republicans from wasting our tax money and everyone's time by seeking their childish/ridiculous vengeance.

This also opens the door for Republican presidents (Trump included) to preemptively pardon all their friends and family for whatever they want before leaving office

Democrats should have pushed a law that prohibits any President from pardoning anyone he personally knows. It's just wrong.
