What is up with Donald Trump pardoning/commuting convicted war criminals?

Blackwater, Eddie Gallagher (not actually pardoned but similar situation), and to a another extent Sheriff Joe Arpaio, I just can't wrap my head around it. There's hard evidence convicting each of these murderers, what they've done is utterly horrifying, yet Trump still pardons them. What exactly is the motive? Does he not believe in the justice process? Regardless of political leaning or whether you support Trump, how exactly is this justified?
