Trump has engaged his power three times already. The lawyer for recently pardoned Scooter Libby said pardons like the one for her client make the President happy and give him "a thrill." Pardon 1: Joe Arpaio, controversial sheriff, immigration hardliner, birther Trump rewarded a political backer and criticized the justice system as making a mistake when he pardoned former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio in August, sparing his longtime supporter a jail sentence for criminal contempt during Arpaio's time in office. Arpaio's specific crime was ignoring a court order to stop profiling Latinos. Trump spent much of 2016 saying Hillary Clinton should be in jail, but he gave Kristian Saucier a free pass. Trump has specifically used the case of Saucier, as recently as January, to call on his own Justice Department to go after Clinton. What might have further thrilled Trump about pardoning Libby is that he did it just days before James Comey's book was released -- the former FBI director was the man who authorized the special counsel in that case. Beyond breaking the seal on the pardon power much earlier in his presidency, publicly teasing them before carrying through, and so far using them for very political ends, Trump's pardons are also different because they have occurred one at a time. The idea of Trump doing something that neither Bush nor Obama would and being on the right side of a horrible law can't hurt Johnson's prospects. Political pardons are nothing new.
