If Trump tries to pardon his way out of trouble, it will make things worse for him

Those pardons were at the end of the George H. W. Bush’s presidency. I imagine if he had won re-election he probably wouldn’t have pardoned them until the end of his second term if at all.

Yeah, previous administrations would do it on the way out, as they were concerned with electoral backlash.

Trump does not have that concern. He knows he’s never going to face a fairly conducted election.
