Even if Biden pardons some family members and other accomplices before Donald Trump is sworn in tomorrow and discloses the pardons, he will sign additional pardons that will not be announced. Those pardons will then be disclosed only in the event that the recipients are charged with crimes committed before Biden leaves office.
Republicans should subpoena Biden and ask him about pocket pardons under oath. Otherwise, millions of dollars of taxpayer funds could be wasted investigating criminals who have already been pardoned for their crimes.
