  • He literally built a case and tried to prosecute. Trump and Trump’s judge delayed the case. The DOJ was consistently moving forward while managing all the cases against all the insurrectionists. There were thousands of people involved in the January 6th insurrection all of which had to be investigated because going after the most powerful person in the country is not something you do half cocked.



  • So you’re one of those “both sides are the same” bad actors.

    I haven’t insisted on anything just calling out a bad faith argument. That seems to get you worked up. Especially when I called out your ridiculous conspiracy theory.

    There is no politics without corporate influence anywhere in the world. Even without citizens united businesses will try to influence government. Same with military. Trump is filling every office position with billionaires and foreign actors and your trying to pretend both sides are the same. If you wouldn’t pardon your own son in the same situation then you’re a shitty father. Any damage done by any administrations will effect all administrations. Democrats have passed climate change legislation while the GOP denies it’s existence and you claim they’re the same. Inflation has been trending down for the past few years but will now start going up again because of tariffs thanks to Trump. But you claim both sides are the same in bad faith.

    Sounds like you drank the qanon kool-aid.









  • Biden didn’t weaponize the DoJ. At no point did he use it to attack opponents who hadn’t committed crimes as decided by grand juries.

    That was my point. The only thing Biden can do is fire the attorney general and threaten to replace them with an attorney general that will do his bidding. That is the only way Biden could control or be “in charge” of the DOJ.

    During Trump’s trials he was, at least publicly, hands off and let the AG do his thing.

    If Biden were to use his position as president to control the DOJ by threatening the attorney general, he would be normalizing Trumps actions of weaponizing the DOJ.

    Don’t confuse Biden giving his son a pardon after conviction with Nixon firing multiple AGs until he got to one that was fine with him being a literal criminal and Trump trying to find one (and succeeding) that wouldn’t release a report on how Trump is corrupt.

    Not sure why you’re saying this. The person I responded to before you responded to me claimed Biden is in charge of the DOJ. I pointed out that he wasn’t because as we’ve both pointed out, the only way Biden can have any control over the DOJ is by replacing the Attorney General with someone that will do what he says. The same way Nixon and Trump did.
