He said he'd never pardon Hunter yet he did. More importantly - it's highly embarrassing to the dems and very damaging to American prestige if Trump creates show trials including the biggest dem faves. And before the trials even begin - Trump might say they gonna be found guilty and put it Gitmo.

I don't think a Biden pardon would really get in the way of what are intentionally show trials.
But I also don't really think Trump would go after anyone with status. If we're doing a kangaroo court, it's going to be another Teri Shavio situation. The GOP congealing around a person you've never heard of to make a giant stink, while the media swarms like flies on shit.
A show trial needs a guilty verdict and punishment. If Cheney et al are pardoned I think that might even nullify Trump's immunity and the fact that criminal law doesn't apply to him.

I can't imagine how.
