I am deeply sorry for your experience and I totally understand that it triggers something, but let's be ice cold logical for a moment.

If there is no evidence of a crime, you cannot prosecute someone in a constitutional democracy.

If you could you could just make up any claims and get rid of people you simply despise.

Which happens in various regimes...

So although it's certainly a possibility that such cases happened, as long as there is no evidence that they happened, they didn't for all legal matters.

We are discussing the pardon power, an explicitly anti-democratic measure that is unilateral and unreviewable. The constitution defines a federal republic, not a democracy.

Not everything originally in the Constitution is a good idea, or at least isn't anymore. That's why it specifies an amendment process.

I wish detractors would follow the Article V process rather than amendment by usurpation, as George Washington condemned it.
