Please Joe Biden Use the Pardon Power to prevent Retribution [View all]

Joe Biden can actually protect some of Trump's promised retribution by broad use of the Pardon Power. Hopefully, even the Republicans will acknowledge his ability to do that.

He can clearly pardon Jack Smith, Adam Shiff, Pelosi and everyone involved in any prosecution of Trump or identified by Trump in any rally or interview as a target of his grievance or retribution. This will not solve every issue but these people need protection.

I have not seen this mentioned in the news. Hopefully the administration is already thinking on these lines but if not and anyone knows someone in the white house, please pass it on.
