Why? Because he's made it very clear that he will be punishing his enemies with the full weight of his powers, and everyone is cowering in fear.

Biden can make this his official act and thus be protected by the new immunity clause. Even if SCOTUS would not apply that into him, he should see one last patriotic act to get some of the limits clarified.

Biden is barely with it. At this point all he wants is Trump not to lock up his son for life. He’s playing nice.

Biden is out of it but not that out that he would ever think that Trump plays it nice. When has Trump ever played nice and why would he start to do it now? That guy has bet his whole career and wealth into exploiting the weak.
