8. Entirely different circumstances.
Nobody was investigating Bush Sr. The investigation was one left over from the previous presidency. We might want to wish that Bush Sr. was involved, but the investigation was not going that way. Thus, the Bush Sr. pardons were in a grey area and he was given the benefit of the doubt.

This clearly would *not* be the case here. Chimp's own WH is under investigation for high crimes and misdemeanors. Chimp himself may be implicated. This is not a grey area. Pardons would be impeachable as an abuse of power.
