I was of two minds about that pardon. On the one hand it seemed like an abuse of pardon power. On the other hand, it was also reasonable at the time to expect abuse of presidential power to prosecute political enemies. So on balance I was OK with it. I think the compromise I'd like to see is to curtail both powers.

"abuse of presidential power to prosecute political enemies" which at that point only Biden had done.

Literally at no time did the Biden administration ever direct the Department of Justice to investigate a political enemy.

Exactly the opposite of what the Trump administration had been doing.

But what about if we just imagine the evidence of Biden interference in DOJ decisions?

Then they’re basically the same!

What evidence do you have that the administration requested the DOJ to initiate that investigation?
