      Imagine if Biden has initiated prosection of Trump within his first 100 days, rather than waiting until his last year in office to press charges.

        Imagine all you want, in reality he shouldn’t have final say regarding anyone’s prosecution… Its sort of a cornerstone of this supposed democracy experiment thingy that we’re doing.

          His entire purpose as head of the executive branch is to assign the nation’s chief prosecuting attorneys. If he’s not setting their prosecutorial agenda, he’s not doing is fucking job.

        That’s kind of what Republicans are going for. The president prosecuted his enemies, with a rush job to make it look sort of good.

        Personally I’m happier with going through all due process to prosecute this particular criminal, and that it is not in the hands of the sitting President

          SBF went through due process in a matter of months and is currently cooling his heels in MDC Brooklyn. There’s no reason to believe Trump should be permitted to continue his crime spree under Biden for the last four years.
