Somehow missed this. Apologies.
With the exception of Don Jr. and maybe Giuliani, who have not been charged, Trump is considering pardoning individuals who are not even under investigation. Sounds entirely suspect to me. Granted, individuals have been previously put under investigation purely for political purposes like Hillary and Trump. It seems to me that one of the primary reasons Trump took office was on the blurry purpose of anti-establishment with anti-corruption undertones. It also seems to me that Trump has displayed no qualms using his every power at his disposal to benefit those and his family. While you can argue all you like that this somehow makes him no different than any other politician; the blatant corruption is the issue.
Not to mention that among those he’s pardon before, and recently, that one individual has called openly supported for sedition in order for Trump to keep his power at all cost.
I would hardly call Trump, the very definition of a tyrant on the brink of becoming the US’s first and real dictator, innocent.
