I mean, if the pardon is due to a quid pro quo, or something, that's corrupt. This doesn't have to be monetary, but just like "I'll pardon you so you won't testify against me" or whatever. That's corrupt. Still legal, but corrupt.
Trump is a shit bag and he has pardoned a bunch of shit bags. It is what it is. I haven't really made up my mind regarding the pardon power, in general, though.
