Trump's father in law WAS found guilty prior to being pardoned. Biden's family haven't even been formally charged or prosecuted. Get it?

The difference is that no prosecutors have felt any of the Bidens, except for one prosecutor going after his son, found any credible evidence that any of them had committed a crime. But the Russian stooge currently in office, while running for president, made it clear he intended to order his Justice Department to investigate and charge "the Biden Crime Family" (as he called it) in retaliation for the very legitimate felony charges Hair Furor was facing until he skated by getting re-elected.

In such a case, pardoning people to block retaliatory prosecution (which can easily bankrupt someone) isn't an unthinkable concept.

Separately, I'll note that Trump pardoned (or in a few cases, commuted sentences for) everyone who was involved in 1/6, whether charged or not, having stood trial or not, convicted or not. So clearly he's not foreign to the concept. He also pardoned a serviceman who was accused of murdering a Afghani civilian (and who had confessed to the killing), but who had not yet stood trial. And notably, he pardoned Steve Bannon, who was facing a federal fraud trial, before conviction as well - someone who'd been intimately involved with Trump's campaign, which is arguably as bad or worse than pardoning a family member.

So let's not pretend that Biden's pardons were somehow grotesque compared with the asshole currently squatting in the White House.

Trump is a dangerous man. He already pardoning treasonous criminals from January 6 riots. 

It wasn't a riot. It was an attempted internal coup d'état.
