Conservatives are often loyal to a fault. Their tribal indoctrination is extreme. Trump exploits it magnificently.

You guys should overhaul the whole Presidential pardon thing anyway. It's weird.

It's not really uncommon-

The president of France, for example, has the same power. It's been used for good effect many times like Andrew Johnson pardoning confederate soldiers below a certain rank en masse & Jimmy Carter's blanket pardon of Vietnam war resisters.

I can understand if theres been a miscarriage of justice or the offence no longer exists but pardoning someone just because the boss want to is a bit "I'm above the law".
