    I once heard, but have been unable to corroborate, that these staffers are not normal government jobs. There is a small pool of resources to hire and pay with as these are not in a federal agency.

    The USA needs a professional staff to sort pardon requests.

      I still don’t buy it. The crime the subject wanted to be pardoned from somehow wasn’t part of the review for a pardon? Neither Biden nor any of his paid staff (either government or personal/party) had 2 minutes to review each pardon? Nah
