A bunch of mass commutations have occurred under Obama, Biden, and most recently under Trump, I'm working on a comparison tool, so we can visualize the change in number of pardons by president, further breakdown of composition is an interesting idea as well.

A more interesting analysis to me would not be the number pardoned, but rather the monetary value of correlated donations or direct financial interests. Pardons are one of the many services for sale, it seems.

Agreed. I often compare the way the current administration is wielding the pardon system to the old Catholic practice of papal indulgences.

that is in the works. Working on making sure the data of the pardons is correct first.
