How Biden - and Trump - helped make the pardon go haywire

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : As for Trump, he reminded me of the candidate I interviewed twice this year.
37% : "He did add the caveat that he would let his attorney general and FBI chief make that decision, but it allowed media outlets to lead with Trump wanting his political opponents behind bars.
33% : "You're very hostile," Trump said.
31% : Trump said he was speaking "metaphorically.""I've seen George Stephanopoulos interview.
31% : Something tells me that Biden, Trump and their allies aren't poring over the Federalist papers.
30% : But a subsequent question got Trump to say he didn't think the Dreamers should be expelled and would work it out with the Democrats.
21% : That misstep, when Trump couldn't hold back, was in saying of the House Jan. 6 Committee members, including Liz Cheney: "For what they did, honestly, they should go to jail.
9% : It is a truly awful idea, and with Biden and Trump both agreeing that DOJ engages in unfair and selective prosecutions - which in the Republican's case made his numbers go up - the stage is set for endless rounds of payback against each previous administration.
