> Yeah, because he was guarding them against the current administration abusing the Justice Department to go after them. Same reason he pardoned Fauci and others. Are pre-emptive pardons a common thing for American presidents to do?

Only when the incoming administration labelled your family a "crime family" and led stadiums to chants of "lock them up".

No. Absolutely not. I can't think of anyone using a pre-emptive pardon until Trump's first Presidency. Sadly I think Biden's choice was completely rational given how Trump is weaponizing the US justice system.
