But using your definition I’ll withdraw my complaint. I don’t want to imply that Trump is honorable.... I agree with that sentiment completely. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Oh, that makes it ok? Because Clinton did something, and was widely criticized for it?

Quote:
President Jimmy Carter, a fellow Democrat, said, "I don't think there is any doubt that some of the factors in his pardon were attributable to his large gifts. In my opinion, that was disgraceful." Clinton himself later expressed regret for issuing the pardon, saying that "it wasn't worth the damage to my reputation."

Quote:
A New York Times editorial called the Marc Rich pardon "a shocking abuse of presidential power."

It was wrong then, and it would be wrong now.
