Well, obviously these people have people on the outside who are dumping tons of cash into his campaign and "hiring" his brother-in-law to arrange....oh, sorry...wrong president...

The president's staff always brings these cases forward.

But I always thought presidents did the pardons around Christmas, not in May.

Irregularities at trial? Other miscarriages of justice? They do happen, and the courts don't always clean up their messes. Or so some attorney friends tell me.

I don't know for sure, but I have a suspicion that this goes on all the time but as we all know, this is an election year and there is a REPUBLICIAN President, ergo, the "press' now pays attention. That is the difference. IMHO.
