What criminality? Do you mean all those crimes that don't exist? And by that I mean both actual crimes you're accusing him of that he actually didn't commit and imaginary things you think are crimes but aren't.

It's interesting that you went to criminality. I said pardons.

With these pardons, Trump is pissing all over the Rule of Law.

He has pardoned war criminals who were justly convicted of murdering innocents.
He has pardoned criminals who justly convicted campaign finances.
He pardoned people like Manafort and Stone. Kushner's father.

Just because he has the ability does not make it right to exercise that ability.

If he is not held accountable, then there's no barrier for a future president to pardon anyone for anything at any time.

An extreme example: The sitting President says, "jeez, I sure hope no one kills my opponents in the primary or in the general election." Boom. Then they stay quiet and get a pardon.

For the Rule of Law to mean anything, then he has to be held accountable.

SO the power of pardon should be revoked then. That would mean ol' Joe shouldn't be able to pardon people you deem as worthy of one.
With his limited time in office, I hope whatever he does continues to piss you off.

Pissing people off is a shitty theory of governance.

Pardon revoked? No. But there does need to be hard limits on it. Expressly written down rules about how/who/when they can be applied.

Good think the power of the Pardon isn't up to you.

This is what happens when you give people 9th place participation trophies. You get one long four-year temper tantrum.
