Its a very real pattern. Trump pardoned about 1500 supporters and a number of non-trivial number of them have ended up breaking the law again within months.

It was, after all, just a few weeks ago when a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter was arrested after threatening to assassinate House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. A month earlier, Robert Keith Packer, a pardoned Jan. 6 criminal best known for wearing a “Camp Auschwitz” sweatshirt inside the Capitol, was arrested in a dog-biting incident. That came on the heels of another pardoned Jan. 6 criminal getting convicted on child pornography charges. Two weeks earlier, another pardoned Jan. 6 rioter was convicted of plotting to kill FBI agents. They have plenty of company. Zachary Jordan Alam, months after receiving a Jan. 6 pardon, was recently convicted in connection with a home invasion. Andrew Taake, weeks after receiving a Jan. 6 pardon, pleaded guilty to soliciting a minor. Emily Hernandez, weeks after receiving a Jan. 6 pardon, was sentenced to 10 years in prison for driving drunk and killing a passenger in another car. A recent New York Times report noted a variety of other examples, including Brent Holdridge, a pardoned Jan. 6 criminal who was arrested again in May in connection with a string of alleged thefts of industrial copper; and Matthew W. Huttle, who was fatally shot by a sheriff’s deputy in January after he resisted arrest during a traffic stop, shortly after receiving a presidential pardon.
