a concern for the case where Biden is reelected [View all]

If Trump has deteriorated even more, or even if he hasn't is it possible that nice guy Joe would pardon him for federal crimes.

It will be totally horrendous and totally wrong, but I can see the possibility of Biden doing it and thinking he's taking the high road and doing what he thinks is best for the country.

Nope. Not going to happen. Biden lived through the Ford pardon and realizes that enabled a Trump. hlthe2b Mar 2024 #7
