This is NOT what the American people want. What happens if they are given immunity and in 4 years they get back into government? This will never stop unless justice is served.

I was young when it happened so it didn't "imprint". I always figured there were some "guardrails" on the power, but based on Nixon's pardon, it sounds like it can be absolute with regards to crimes against the USA. I wonder if human trafficking, etc. can pierce that argument?
Only impeachment - as in a President can't pardon an impeachment. It is extremely cut and dry in the constitution in Article II, Section 2, Clause 1.
Note - "Offences against the United States" means POTUS can only pardon Federal crimes - or crimes being tried in Federal Courts. So if someone commits a murder it could be a state charge or there could be circumstances that make it a federal crime. Maybe a bank robbery or kidnapping the FBI responds to, or a murder on a plane.
