He pardoned his family and all those people because Trump telegraphed that he would be engaging in a campaign of retribution against them and their families. Those pardons were an effort to protect innocent people from the unbridled vengeance that Trump himself promised. And still, you're moving the goalposts to defend your indefensible position. I'm not talking about policy, or actions that are within the purview of the president. I'm talking about everything I detailed in my last comment. Instead of confronting that, you're moving the chairs and coming up with more bullshit whataboutism. It's so dishonest and I don't even know if you realize it. You're engaging in overt logical fallacies out some desperate need to defend this guy. It's exactly what I just described. This obsessive need to revise history, make things up, and deflect in an effort to shield him from any honest criticism.
