pardons Trump was going to give. To his sons, himself, etc. Talking about the danger of Trump issuing pardons on his way out.

I was just curious compared to other presidents and such if he went crazy

I was pretty impressed with a majority of the ones I read.

There were seemingly a lot of BS weed charges with long term sentences that he pardoned.

Pardon counts Nixon through Trump


Jan 20, 2021, 11:14 AM

Pardons only (not including clemency, etc).

Trump 174 (1 term)
Obama 212 (2 terms)
W 189 (2 terms)
Clinton 396 (2 terms)
H.W. 74 (1 term)
Reagan 393 (2 terms)
Carter 534 (1 term)
Ford 382 (.75 term)
Nixon 863 (1.25 terms)

Don't know anything about the source, but seems as good as any.

null


So it looks like they’ve actually gone down significantly

Yep. Even here on tnet, judging by some posters, you'd think several hundred pardons and by far more than any of his predecessors.

But, ill admit I also thought he'd hand out more pardons than he did. I was wrong.
