Cleaning up the corruption that Trump and Pence are leaving behind

Greg Sargent back in August about the extent of corruption under the Trump-Pence Republican Administration, If Biden wins, the post-Trump corruption purge will have to be epic Washington Post 08/05/2020:
[A]n incoming Biden administration will also face another mission: undertaking a full accounting of the Trump administration’s corruption and the damage it has done to our government and institutions.

That is, if the new administration chooses to accept that mission.
But he also warned about what we saw this week with trial balloon links from the Biden team about giving Trump and other people in his administration who committed criminal acts a free pass from Federal prosecution:
And yet, having campaigned on a vow of post-Trump reconciliation — and facing the daunting task of unifying a battered country around national solutions to the coronavirus pandemic and a potential economic depression — Biden might feel disinclined from sinking too much political capital into an effort along these lines, which might feel akin to diving right back into Trump’s black hole.
