Does a incumbent president typically pardon people before the first term is up? It has always seemed like that is at the end of the president’s time in office, but I never kept track.

The pardon is a presidential power and he can use it whenever he damn well feels like it. Screw optics, tradition, or any of that other horse shit. It’s that kind of thinking that dilutes his constitutional power. Wish he would do it more often.
