I'm sorry, but I disagree. If Biden interferes with a legal investigation, then he turns it into a political process. The investigation of a crime needs to be based in the law, not politics. It's important to separate the actions of the AG from the President. Biden is wise to keep distance. It is ethical clarity. Biden did want to move on from Trump, and he did want to engage moderate Republicans. But it isn't his fault in any way that the GOP has remained stuck to Trump.
Yes, certainly Biden should in no way interfere NOW, since a criminal investigation of Trump has been made public and is in progress.. The time to try to persuade Garland was before he took office, when the President-elect should have discussed his legal goals and broad priorities for the Justice Department. Investigating Trump should have been a top priority, and I believe that VP Harris would agree with me,, but she's not the boss...yet. Letting it be known publicly that Biden wanted to "move on" did not give Garland much of an incentive to investigate Trump . But then Trump made the mistake of stealing the documents, and now they've got him. As for Biden's "ethical clarity," vis a vis the DOJ--I disagree that ethics had much to do with Biden's distancing---the distancing is probably part of Biden's lifelong pattern of political risk and fallout mitigation for himself. The WH said it had no advance knowledge that Trump's Search Warrant was going to be served and executed, and that's incredible--but it follows a familiar pattern by him of didn't knows, blamed someone else, or wasn't told.
The people who worked hard for Joe Biden and elected him had and have every right to expect great things from him, but he simply has not been willing to leave his Senate comfort zone and engage. Let's be honest...the IRA fell into his lap because Manchin got what he wanted, NOT because Joe Biden persuaded anyone.
I've enjoyed our discussion today Theresa. I hope you're having a good life, and a great Sunday as well. Stay safe, be of good cheer, and May God Bless our country and your family.
