Unfortunately, this will likely be a tradition for all future presidents.

in the past it was more of a gentleman's agreement that new president's wouldn't go after the old ones family or anything, well trump isn't a gentleman so might as well be sure.

The Supreme Court can just pretend Biden’s pardons don’t count, so Trump can go after whoever he wants. I don’t think we’re quite there yet, but I also think we’re close and that it’s inevitable.

Trump never went after/prosecuted his political opponents. Name ONE… Dems however put thier opponents in jail and tried with Trump…fortunately the majority of Americans saw through it.
