This is what one could expect from Trump. pardoned his friends.
A friend wrote as a comment.
Now I wonder has Obama, Clinton, Bush Jr done the same..pardoned some friends/colleague in the end of their Presidential era ?

I seem to recall you asking a similar question 4 years ago when Obama was pardoning people. I'm pretty sure I posted this link in response too.
https://www.justice.gov/pardon/clemencyrecipients
It's lists by president, the names of people pardoned and crimes they committed. You can drill down the other links and see what policies allow such actions.
Crooks pardoning crooks
What do ya think? Could be a new reality TV show!
