I think that the last minute presidential pardon - for ANY president - is one of the grossest abuses of power in government today. These guys are trying to set themselves up as multimillionaires post-presidency and the opportunity to SELL freedom has got to be incredibly tempting.
"Hey, Mr. Rich, I'll let you come back in scot free if you donate a **** load of cash to my 'library'!"
"Hey, Cheney, tell you what - I'll pardon YOU, resign, then YOU get to be President for a day and pardon ME. How's THAT sound??"
