If we were talking about things as alike as geese and ganders, but here we have a duck-billed platypus and a bison.

The white collar criminals he pardoned have defrauded their victims of over a billion dollars. So besides getting out of jail all those people who were cheated out of a combined million dollars will never get what is owed to them

In a news conference announcing his departure from the D.C. U.S. Attorney's Office [to take up the new role in OP], Martin confirmed he planned to launch a probe of last-minute pardons issued by former President Joe Biden just before he left office -- and suggested that officials he's unable to charge would instead be publicly "shamed."
The approach would directly conflict with longstanding DOJ policy that prohibits prosecutors from naming or disparaging individuals who they don't intend to charge criminally.
[A] letter from Senate Democrats said Martin's statements "are a brazen admission that Mr. Martin plans to systematically violate the Justice Manual’s prohibition on extrajudicial statements by shaming uncharged parties for nakedly partisan reasons. Weaponizing DOJ in this manner will further undermine the public’s trust in the department in irreparable ways."
I suppose it makes perfect sense that Martin, in addition to his pardoning duties, is also head of the Weaponization Working Group at DOJ.

My theory is that we have a large number of people who feel left out of the system, and think the only way to deal with it is "Dirty Harry." Traditional things like restraint and separation of powers are simply not issues for them.
