The Sudden Scorn for the Presidential Pardon

Why is the pardoning of people who have been cleverly made to look as though they lied when in fact they were tricked into not reproducing like a mimeograph machine every jot and tittle they had previously used and all over a "crime" that was a non-crime. It seems to me that pardoning Roger Stone (and I hope you remember how it was done with an Armada of blue lights and swat vehicles in the middle of the night) should not be any more controversial than say, well... Mr. Obama pardoning the leading terrorists at Guantanamo. That of course was hailed by the Pravda Press as a decidedly humane act of consummate compassion, while this injustice of entrapment to be righted is incurring the wrath and scorn of the Left. But are we surprised?
