Despite the multitude of scandals that erupted throughout President Donald Trump’s time in the Oval Office, President-elect Joe Biden is reportedly leery of investigating his predecessor once he’s sworn in.
According to NBC News, Biden is privately worried that pursuing investigations into Trump’s tax returns or the way the President has used his power to shield his criminal associates would alienate Trump voters and stir up division.
Advisers for Biden told NBC News that the President-elect “just wants to move on” and will be “more oriented toward fixing the problems and moving forward than prosecuting them.”
Biden reportedly wants to restore legitimacy to a Justice Department that Trump has gleefully weaponized as his own personal law firm under Attorney General Bill Barr. For the President-elect, “the most important thing on this is that he will not interfere with his Justice Department and not politicize his Justice Department,” another adviser told NBC News.
Isn’t that done best by letting the prosecutors do their jobs? Not asking them to do anything or asking them to do nothing.
Oh FFS not this bipartisan ponies bullshit again. Hopefully it’s just a pose and he’ll let his DoJ do as they see fit without any restraints imposed by him. That would be illegal, btw. This shit has to be cleaned up before we can truly move on and fuck those crazy Trumpies. They’re never coming around anyway. They can only be squashed, not won over or placated.
And so once again, Republicans will walk away with zero fucking consequences for their actions.
I think it’s the right message for the public. He knows and I know that it’s not his call whether to investigate Trump.
Biden is doing a disservice to the nation. And no Republicans are not going to cooperate with him anyway.
