So again, I don't believe anyone who says they wouldn't also pardon their own family to protect them from unjust persecution. Of course you would do it, you'd be dumb not to. |
Naturally if Trump is hellbent on coming after these people he's going to be able to do it as the President (or have someone else do it at a non federal level) regardless in some other way that doesn't apply, and probably with very little effort too.
It's wrong and nobody should be minimizing these pardons whether it's capital rioters or simply nepotism. It also opens the door for a little more abuse every time. It won't even look as bad now if Trump decides to pre-emptively pardon his entire family in 4 years....maybe he wouldn't even have thought of it until now. I don't think grilling Biden on this is at all unfair and should be something he takes a lot of heat for given the door he's further opening.
