Are you asking which candidate would be less likely to pardon him if he is found guilty of a federal crime?

All of the others seem to have a deference for the office or for family/insider politics that should not be disturbed. I am not saying these are right or wrong positions to hold. I simply think Harris and Warren are the two candidates most likely to ensure justice is served with regard to 45, his crimes and his inner circle’s crimes.

...hate to break it to anyone who thinks otherwise but there is no candidate that is going to do that if they win. It's not something any one person can do as president and there are too many folks in office whose support for that would be needed, who instead will want us to "look forward not backward" or "heal the nation" or "move past the bipartisanship of the Trump years.

And any candidate who makes any type of hint in that regard should be automatically excluded. They are not trustworthy and simply pandering.

Likely to see broadly worded pardons all around for any Federal violations and some attempt to pardon himself.

What I expect from a new Prez/DoJ is to quickly and fully turnover all documents/findings to Congressional committees that could then make public to allow states to pursue prosecution.

No excuses to encourage home grown terrorists - and they are preparing. One (of very many) criticisms of Trump is that he only cares about his base. Its dangerous.
