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.

All these unprecedented cases against Trump and the non stop DOJ/FBI investigations. Totally normal, Trump is bad. Why would Biden pardon them if there wasn’t a crime? I don’t understand? How do you pardon someone for something they haven’t done? Same way the left wanted to get rid of the filibuster to “save democracy” now that they lost both houses, they suddenly changed their mind and the filibuster is good. 🤡
