The president’s power to pardon federal crimes is already more akin to removing the jury from the criminal justice equation. He’s always had the ability to declare someone innocent. I don’t see how the weaponization fund advances him toward having the power to declare guilt.
That fund is just a way for Trump to give federal funds to anyone he wants. Knowing him, he’ll probably give most of it to himself, possibly indirectly; “You buy $750,000 of Trump Coin, I give you a million dollars.”
