Its not so much the number of pardons, but who receives them.
Like 90% of the pardons dealt out by trump is to people connected in one way or another to his administration.
So much for draining the swamp i guess.
Perhaps this has been the case for all presidents?
The swamp won the election.
Its SOP for presidents to issue pardons on the last day. Its a 5 minute news story here and only the big (controversial) ones get mentioned like Julian A. and Bannon for example. However, I've never looked into the specific pardons by individual presidents. Another big one was this guy Marc Rich by Bill Clinton.
but until I see the full list I reserve judgement.

He just wanted to fill it with his own creatures anyway. I think that's clear at this point in time.
