Biden is old enough to remember how Gerald Ford's pardoning of Nixon cost him a second term. Biden won't make retribution a political issue, but won't stand in the way of SDNY either.

Besides, this is Trump's standard operating procedure. When a con goes south, he makes himself so obnoxious that people will cut a deal with him just to get him out of their face. He will make some promises he has no intention to keep in order to avoid prosecution, all while looming like an 800 pound gorilla squatting in your living room.
