In normal times, I would agree with you. But these are not normal times.
President Biden did not set a precedent. Former presidents have made questionable pardon decisions.
But it was President Biden's immediate predecessor, Donald Trump, who ignored the entire pardon process and pardoned any number of people such as Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Dinesh D'Souza, Paul Manafort, General Michael Flynn, Charles Kushner (the possible future ambassador to France!), Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, and Steve Bannon.
And he has promised to pardon those who HE INCITED to storm the capital on January 6th in an attempt to throw out the results of a free and fair election.
Donald Trump should consider himself fortunate if this is all President Biden does to monkey with the rule of law considering Biden is still president for another month and a half and that the Supreme Court has given him immunity from criminal prosecution so long as he uses the powers of the executive branch to commit the crime and to justify the crime through some broad reference to the official duties of his office.
But I'm afraid we will have to wait for President Trump to cross that line.
