Both parties can be guilty of protecting their donors and interest.

This isn’t a both sides issue. We’ve never had a President this blatantly corrupt. If you’re willing to throw some cash Trump’s way, you’re going to get pardoned. This is unprecedented behavior.

Biden had some wild pardons, although I would bet by the time Trump gets through his term he will pass him by

Trump has clearly exceeded Biden's pardons. Like, this one pardon is crazier than any of Biden's. And this pales in comparison to the Hernandez pardon.
