> I fully expect Trump to extend the current flurry of lame-duck pardons to most if not all members of his administration

I expect he will. At that point, Biden will have pardoned his son for felony gun and tax crimes, as well as pioneered the preëmptive pardon, while Trump will have pardoned violent insurrections, drug lords, fraudsters and his corrupt inner circle. If that isn’t enough to build consensus on striking pardon power from the Constitution entirely, I don’t know what will be.
