To date Biden has pardoned 39 people and commuted the sentences for 1,500.

I do not believe he will issue pre pardon's for Trumps enemies, anymore than he could have removed pot from Schedule 1, or why he appointed Merrick Garland and why he has not directed the DOJ to investigate Russian interference.

I have no grounds to accuse Biden of bad faith motives, but can't say the same for his cabinet and especially advisors. Ukraine will fall to Putin, because of the influence of Jake Sullivan who has countenanced Biden not to provide Ukraine the weapons that they needed to take the war to Putin.

Presidents are not demigods, though some like Trump surely think they are, they are not omniscient and rely on their staff, especially advisors like national security advisor and economic advisor.

There really is little or no difference between the inner and outer circles of a royal court and the Executive.
