Regarding Biden and pardons: I appreciate that there are powerful arguments on either side but, given Trump's intentions to seek retribution I'm leaning strongly in favor of Biden extending pardons to those that have been singled out by Trump. Another thought: maybe Biden ought to pardon Trump as well. As abhorrent as the idea of Trump getting away with his crimes might be, the Federal cases against him are likely dead and extending a pardon to him could make mute the inevitable Republican howls regrading the other pardons.
