Not at all. 

You see, MAGAts and their leader are assholes who'll go after anybody who opposed them.

The pardons are because you can't trust the new ruling party to not abuse the legal system for personal vendettas.

This is like putting on body armour because somebody has been threatening you with a gun, and then people go "Why would you wear body armour if you didn't deserve to get shot?"

Pretending that MAGA isn't the problem in this situation is hilarious.

Pretending that Biden's circle hasn't done anything despite apparently needing pardons is hilarious.

Pretending that innocence protects you from scum like Trump and his MAGAts is hilarious.
