2/ govt officials might misuse tax payer information - either for private reasons or illegit public reasons - and impose serious criminal penalties for doing so. So that's important reason why Trump is likely having a harder time than usual getting what he wants on that front.

Pardons would remove legal consequences, but wouldn’t change that the actions are clearly crimes, and that would matter to some people. I know nothing about Long, but maybe he (or someone close to him) is in that group.
