Why not now?

Trump isn't up for re-election. It's his act alone.

He promised in the election to pardon other criminals and it didn't hurt him.

Well even if he bet on going that route he wouldn't have to be "elected", and my last line applies none the less, it didn't hurt him during an actual election.

Yes. Except, "neutralize?" I don't know why the federal government would bother with the pretense of a 22nd Amendment when they demonstrably do not care in the slightest about the 14th or most of the Bill of Rights.
