Oyer: Undeniably, Biden Did Things with the Pardon Power, But Trump Really Appears To Be Selling Access to the Presidential Power

RUSH EXCERPT:
OYER: "So so that‘s sort of the elephant in the room that comes up when you talk about what President Trump is doing with pardons is what about Biden? And I hear that question all the time. And undeniably, President Biden did some things with the pardon power that are not what‘s consistent or contemplated with the Justice Department standards. And that‘s his prerogative as president. But the scope and scale of what is happening now is fundamentally different than what happened during any prior administration, just in terms of the sheer amount of money that is at issue, and in terms of the fact that the president really appears to be selling access to a piece of presidential power, to this constitutional power that he has to grant pardons, which are a very powerful form of relief."
