After the precedent around pardons set by his predecessor I'll give him that one.
At least Biden let the process play out before issuing the pardon so the public got to know all the details.

- hansihe 2y agoI think it aged perfectly well. We were talking about his son, he let the process play out in full which is beyond respectable. When the incoming administration has shown extraordinary will to persecute political opponents, I think it would be unethical not to preemptively pardon these people.
