Trying to minimize and say it was political and they shouldn't have been charged. They were doing what everyone else was doing
Trying to redefine the meaning of corruption
They were treated unfairly like him
These are great people who had their lives ruined
Sending signals to people to hang tight and don't flip
He'll throw in a few non political pardons

Republican POTUS's have a long history of pardoning felons that help cheat elections and lie to congress but Trump is taking his pardoning of white collar felons to a whole new level so the crooks that got him into office no he's got their back. But they don't know if they'll be convicted by state trials amd/ or after he's out of office and cannot pardon them

the other pattern that occurs to me is his obsession with undoing what his political opponents have done, for no other reason than just to do so.
