President Joe Biden Pardons the Innocent to Prevent Trump from Revenge Prosecutions

In the final hours of his presidency, Joe Biden issued pardons to people who committed no crimes: the members of the January 6 House select committee like Bennie Thompson and Liz Cheney; police officers who testified at the J6 congressional hearings, Harry Dunn, Mike Fanone, and Aquilino Gonell; plus, Dr. Anthony Fauci, General Mark Millie, several of Biden's family members and others. Glenn does a deep dive into questions like - how much protection against Trump's revenge do these pardons provide? And are there any presidential downsides to pardoning the innocent?
