Pretty much like Al Green: "If we don't impeach Trump, he'll get reelected."

Biden goes on record admitting his desire to get re-elected would be the deciding factor in whether or not to pardon his Republican predecessor. Good to know.
While there, Biden told a roomful of reporters on Sunday that family members would not receive perks in a Biden administration:
Biden on Sunday said at a press conference that he would build on “the squeaky clean … environment” of the Obama White House, according to Radio Iowa.
“No one in my family will have an office in the White House, will sit in on meetings as if they’re a cabinet, will, in fact, have any a business relationship with anyone that relates to a foreign corporation or to a foreign country,” he said.
He also told Radio Iowa that if elected president, he would not seek to pardon Trump:
During an interview with Radio Iowa later Sunday afternoon, Biden said if he is elected, he will not follow President Ford’s example in pardoning Nixon so Nixon was not prosecuted for his role in Watergate.
“It wouldn’t unite the country,” Biden said. “You’d say: ‘Wait a minute. I get a parking ticket and I’ve got to pay it. This happens to me and I’ve got to go to jail. This guy does all these things that put us jeopardy and he gets off? I think this is of a different nature.”
And just why would he not pardon Trump if elected president? Because he feels it would hurt his chances at re-election:
“And I think President Ford, God love him he’s a good guy, I knew him pretty well, I think if he had to do it over again he wouldn’t have done it…because he didn’t get re-elected.”
So here we have Democratic presidential contender Joe Biden going on record admitting his desire to get re-elected would be the deciding factor in whether or not to pardon his Republican predecessor. Good to know.
