    I think, in principle, the president persecuting his predecessor and current political rival is bad. Much simpler a solution is to not disrupt his criminal investigation by electing him president, but instead we’re a country of assholes who can’t even show up to the polls to keep him out.

      Holding a criminal accountable for the crimes they’ve committed is not persecution.

        The courts were responsible. Biden already expressed disappointment in the AG for being slow. This should never have been Biden’s job to do, and it is our collective fault that he became president absolving himself of crimes.
