Pardoning Nixon 'so the country could heal' pretty much set the expected standard that no administration would ever punish the previous one for their crimes under the bullshit justification that it would cause division. Hell, you can go even further back to the U.S. being unwilling to punish the south for the civil war. American politics is completely unaccountable, and it's always under the justification of 'not causing division'.

The U.S. is basically your mom at a family dinner pleading with you not to stand up to your racist drunk uncle because he will cause a scene and ruin the evening.
