Apparently Biden is considering making pre-emptive pardons for those people Trump is targeting.
This would be the wrong thing to do.
Firstly and most importantly it might not work.
Secondly and just as importantly they have done nothing wrong or committed a crime
As I have written previously you need evidence to indict a person let alone prosecute them in a court. There is none.
The major point of investigating people by Trump is to get those investigated to spend a s--tload of money on lawyers.The lack of evidence does not money because they already know a crime was not committed.
This being the case what should be done to prevent this expenditure.
A defence fund should be set up to help anyone who has been targeted by Trump. People such a Bloomberg and others could donate money in such a cause. There are also a number of major law firms who would help as well.
This would reduce the incentive of Trump to target people. Add in the opportunity cost of the FBI and Justice department using their resources on doing revenge work instead of their normal work then the political will would surely dissipate quickly.
