The same way prosecution of crimes deters anyone from committing them,


especially once a precedence is set. But the precedent was set by Nixon/Ford "let's get past this so the country can heal" pardon, and we will continue to live under that until we rectify it.

And yes, presidential pardon powers should be severely curtailed, especially those that place the President and his allies above the law.
