And this helps how? What about the criminal in chief and his lackeys destroying the constitution and subverting democracy. A procedural technicality? So if the procedure wasn’t followed they’ll just ignore the law or do a second “correct”pardon. Waste of time?
What can you do about it? It is within the executive purview. Other than passing a law that prevents pardons for family members, there no limit to who the president can pardon. You can’t legislate morality or honor. You can expect many more.
Apparently, there is a process required before the request for a pardon makes it to the Prez desk. This process may not have been followed.
The information Durbin is collecting will prove to be extremely helpful in a near future. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GXmnOUZEfE
Unfortunately, it’s already done. Even if he didn’t follow the proper protocol, they can’t take the pardons back and they can’t take any action on Trump (SCOTUS gave him immunity). Besides he would just ignore anything that Congress would “rule on”.
So true and very sad. A paper trail, however, can be helpful in another situation to demonstrate intent or patterns of recalcitrance, so I think it is better to create one than none at all.

Put that energy towards a plan to take on this corrupt administration.
