The sheer number of people Trump pardoned -- 1,500+ -- and the magnitude of violence many (most?) of them committed

The sheer number of people Trump pardoned — 1,500+ — and the magnitude of violence many (most?) of them committed means it is statistically likely that a fair number will be revidivists, potentially for more egregious crimes. The pardons should be a top story EVERY DAY

The fact that this, and every other Trump pardonee who has subsequently broken the law, has not ended Trump's political career, that it barely even registers on the national discourse, underlines just how far we are from a functioning democracy that values accountability.

Some journo/pundit could probably make it their "thing" to be the person who keeps the running list.
