Obama pardoned 212 and commuted 1,715. (1,927 total) Only 723 of those were on his 'way out' Do the math. That is about 1 every 1 1/2 days for every year he was in office. Trump has done 26 so far 😁 and he's the lawless one? GTFOH supreme court lawyers.🤡🤡🤡

The pricktator is really unhinged now, as if he wasn’t totally unhinged before

Regardless what anyone says, Trump does what he wants, continue to do what he wants, gets away with everything he does. And who cares, nobody can do anything to him and he don't care. So what next?

Don't need Judges,when Trump has Appointed himself,Most President Pardon when they're Walking out of White House

He is POTUS and he has the power to pardon. His way, his time. Get over your TrumpDerangementSyndrome

Only in the bizarro world of looney liberalism would Trumps few pardons & First Step act be viewed as lawless. Meanwhile MSM is suspiciously silent on the over 1,200+ pardons by Obummer 🤡

How is a president issuing pardons lawless and unprecedented if there's a law giving him the power to do it and every president has issued pardons? Does this lawyer not understand the definitions of the words 'lawless' and 'precedent'? Maybe their using 15th century definitions.

The Supreme Court has no lawyer.

Well of course
