Presidential pardons of January 6 participants who are political allies represents significant constitutional damage through multiple vectors. Rule_of_law (4.5) scores highest as pardons explicitly reward criminal convictions tied to election certification disruption, undermining equal justice. Capture (4.0) reflects personnel_capture mechanism - using pardon power to benefit ideological allies. Election (3.5) and corruption (3.5) reflect pardoning those convicted of disrupting democratic processes to benefit the pardoner. Separation (3.0) shows executive override of judicial convictions. Civil_rights (2.5) moderate as pro-life activists' convictions related to J6 disruption. Violence (1.0) low as these specific individuals' convictions may not involve direct violence. Severity multipliers: durability 1.2 (pardons permanent, sets precedent), reversibility 0.9 (cannot undo but future norms can shift), precedent 1.2 (normalizes partisan pardons of election-related crimes). Mechanism modifier 1.25 for direct personnel_capture. B-score moderate: outrage_bait high (7) given partisan nature, media_friendliness (6) as controversial pardons generate coverage, but novelty low (3) as Trump J6 pardons expected. Layer 2 pattern_match (5) fits broader pardon pattern, timing (4) early in term. Intentionality (8) clear as explicitly rewards allies. Delta +23.69 clearly exceeds +10 threshold with A>=25, placing on List A.
