The U.S Constitution that Justice officials and all agencies swore to uphold, not just parts of it, as you have mentioned, all presidents issue controversial pardons, President Bill Clinton issued his own brother one-that one raised a few eyebrows.

The power though can remove injustices and Flynn's was under an injustice.
