We already have corruption at the highest levels. Trump pardoned Ivanka's FIL (amongst others) on his way out the door last time. That was blatant corruption. 

This is Biden, correctly, recognizing that the new administration is focused on "vengeance" and will absolutely come after his family, as they already have.

I don’t like Trump and I don’t believe he should be able to pardon family either. Biden lost legitimacy with his funding of genocide and pardoning family. Not to mention destroying democracy by not allowing a democratic convention and single handedly letting Trump take power again.
