I don't love it either, but I'm not sure how you tell a man that he should let his only surviving son rot in prison to respect norms, institutions, and the rule of law, when the country you devoted your life to serving just pretty comprehensively voted they don't give a shit about any of that.

Except he just gave the other guy the moral right to issue pardons to his family.

He wasn't and doesn't care, but the moral principle is important for the other side and now its gone.

The whole concept of a Presidential Pardon seems dubious to me.
