I think he is explicitly and for no other purpose pardoning and showing favor to overtly corrupt people (like his DOJ withdrawing charges against NYC mayor Adams), because those are the people he wants in positions of control regardless of party. It may seem like, "what is he even doing paying attention to this Democrat from years ago," but it's a signal to everyone that as long as they swear fealty, they will be allowed to exercise unchecked power and self-interest.

It fits into the J6 pardons as well. It also is (surprise, surprise) exactly how Russia operates.

So, Trump is pardoning corrupt Dems, and throwing staunch GOPs like John Bolton under the bus.

The pardoning circus continues, with the ringmaster rewarding his loyal clowns. Blagojevich’s corruption was so brazen it’d make a mob boss blush—selling a Senate seat like a discount timeshare. Yet here we are, watching political patronage masquerade as justice.

This isn’t about “clemency”; it’s about consolidating power. The same hand that freed J6 rioters—domestic terrorists by any sane metric—now scrubs a Democrat’s record. Bipartisan corruption at its finest, proving the swamp wasn’t drained—it was privatized.

Media outrage? Predictable. But let’s not pretend the propaganda mills aren’t feasting on this. Democracy’s autopsy report will cite “death by a thousand pardons.” Meanwhile, the electorate scrolls, numbed by the endless spectacle.
