 Moving to an echo and network that is more tolerant of political
discussion.

Specifically with pardons, you are 100% correct.  Before the election, the
talk was Trump would pardon his political buddies and they will all get
off.  So, after the election and before the change of administration, Biden
did exactly what they said Trump would do.

They should, just as they should re: some of Trump's pardons.  There are
previous Presidents who also pardoned people known to have participated in
sedition and terror bombings, usually shortening or commuting their
sentences.

Biden was the first one I can remember to pardon family members and for
crimes yet uncovered, but there have been many last-days questionable
pardons over recent years, each stretching the bounds of justice.
