    The President assumed that his son would be treated fairly like any other first time offender.

    You’re aware Biden is in charge of the DOJ right?

    So he’s admitting his DOJ was fucked up and acting in bad faith…

    But rather than at any point since he realized that, he’s choosing to only save his son and still not do any actual justice reform?

    A regular person saving their son, ok. We get it

    The literal one person able to save millions of sons? He should do actual reform.

    He’d save his own son in the process too.

    Like, you realize there’s a shit ton of open judicial seats Biden is about to let trump seat as soon as he comes into office right?

    Are you implying Biden appointed such shit people to lead the DOJ that he now trusts Trump’s judgement more?

    Like I said:

    Like, if “nothing matters” why isn’t Biden doing more? Why isn’t he even appointing all the empty judges seats before Trump can?

    But if be really surprised if anyone actually explains why Biden not even appointing 30 judges is ok, let alone why the Senate not confirming 42 is bad.

      Biden allowed the prosecution of Hunter to avoid the appearance of not being neutral.

      Now that Trump has won and a) is openly talking about pardoning anyone and everyone and b) wanting to prosecute his enemies list, it 100% makes sense to beat him to the punch and pardon Hunter.

      If Kamala had won, he would have let it all stand.

        Biden allowed the prosecution of Hunter to avoid the appearance of not being neutral

        But the reality is he wasnt neutral…

        So, when you portray a situation falsely because you know the blowback would hurt your chances in an upcoming election (Biden was the candidate then)

        That is commonly referred to:

        Being a fucking liar

        And when you do that for something everyone knows you’re lying about, that’s going to hurt turnout for the entire party, even if you do eventually shuffle off the stage before the election.

        You may be 100% of with the only two parties only running liars

        But if you want a way to make Dems able to win again, fight for honest authentic candidates who will help Americans.

        You’ll never find a neoliberal as good as lying as a Republican. So why play that game.

        If Kamala had won, he would have let it all stand.

        My opinion is obviously he wouldn’t have. I’m not sure why your preventing your opinion as a fact, or even why you still think the next president somehow controls sentencing…

        Like, you get that right?

        That the entire premise for your argument about why this is ok has no factual basis?

        If you think I’m wrong, by all means explain how the incoming president co trolls that, and how Biden wasn’t able to control it now for a fair result and not an all or nothing like you’re presenting

          Oh, he definitely wasn’t neutral, no father could be, that’s why I say he was trying to avoid the APPEARANCE of not being neutral. ;)

          Now that Trump has won and is talking crazy shit, there’s no need to maintain appearances.

            The Attorney General leads the DoJ and is a member of the president’s cabinet. The DoJ is also part of the executive branch. While it is “bad form” for the president to order the AG to do something, the president can fire the AG. Look up what Nixon did to find out more.
