Pardons, by real presidents, happen at the end of the president's terms. Trump has used them from the beginning. Odd, don't you agree? So Trump's pardons and commutations are outside the norm. Obama pardoned a bunch of people who got ridiculous sentences for weed. Trump's are mostly to help the crooks that worked on his campaign. Obama got nothing from his pardons. Trump gets to wreck investigations and the people finding out the truth. Trump has been practicing the pardon power for almost 4 years. There must be a reason.
Bills of attainder are illegal in the United States.
