I realise this is something that all outgoing presidents do, but this is the first time I've heard of it.
How on earth can this be valid, how does this sit with a (presumably overtly) fair and impartial justice system?
Why does anyone think it's a good thing that someone in a position of power can essentially pick his favourite criminals, and let them off? What reasons do presidents usually use in selecting those to pardon?
