  Trump pardoning fraud. Shocking. Not.

  It may be the first time a President pardons a corporation but it is a little sensationalistic to suggest that Trump is on a power grab or is "expanding" anything as the Constitution indeed only states which offences can be pardoned: ... he [The President] shall have Power to Grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

    I think it speaks more to the sloppiness of the action more than its expansiveness. Pardoning a corporation is silly - corporations aren't subject to jail time and the administration can't really change the regulating laws. So really you are just absolving them of a 1-time fine. BitMEX being named on the pardon was probably more of an oversight by a pardon-happy administration than it was a calculated legal decision.
