Is this the first time Presidential Pardons are being abused like this?

He's literally pardoning his allies and associates that committed crimes for him (or crimes that could benefit him).

its a silly tradition that should be abandoned. a president is not a king, a president serves the people. he is hired to serve the people, he shouldnt be above the law. we develop a complex justice system to protect the innocent and punish the guilty yet the president can come along and completely disregard the system that put this guy in jail in the first place, acting like a dictator or an emperor. no one should be above the law, its an insult to democracy.
