Most presidents use their pardon power to correct obvious injustices. Not this one.. First he pardons Joe Arpaio, the racist sheriff who was responsible for a number of prisoner deaths. Now he has pardoned two men guilty of arson in their attack on U.S. government officials. They were ranchers who thought they could take over public lands.
They are part of a group of right-wing fanatics who occupied federal property and believe that the federal government has only a limited right to own land within a state. That’s just nuts, of course, but Trump pardoned them.
Do you think Trump will pardon himself if he is charged with a crime? I think it is clear what he will do.
