First job for Biden's AG is to prosecute McConnell

I'm sure there's criminality between McConnell and the Russian backed NRA campaign donations to the RNC. Find it and prosecute.

Examine his stock trades during the Trump era. Guessing there's insider trading to be found.

How did that Russian aluminum plant land in KY?

Or go thru his wife Elaine Chao and her Chinese crime family.

Biden needs to decapitate Mitch and remove him from Washington imo.

Biden isn't Trump.

If the DOJ proceeds with this, fine. But the initiative shouldn't come from Biden, as in going after one's political enemies....

If Putin calls for it, McConnell dare not say "no" to his master. Then, Governor Beshear can appoint someone else.

Wishful thinking...

I know they all say they are arms length, and maybe I'm jaded, but its highly unlikely even a Democratic President does not have some form of indirect communication at least. NOT to order to investigate and prosecute frivolous cases for political gain, (not Democratic ones at least) but to help to steer which legitimate cases they should pursue at that moment, for both law and order purposes and political purposes.

President Obama famously stated ‘Look Forward, Not Backward’, on the topic of torture and other crimes by the Bush administration. He didn't have to directly tell his AG not to proceed with investigations and indictments.

Nothing will get done until every last Trump sycophant is purged from the Justice Department.

Then he or she can start investigations. Like you said, look into things like Russian donations. There are plenty of things that need investigating. Whoever gets caught gets prosecuted. Odds are, McConnell will be one of them, as will his criminal wife. No need to give Republicans an excuse to scream "Witchhunt!!!" by going after individuals. Besides, Mitch is rotting from the inside. If manages to escape any DOJ dragnet, he isn't going to escape whatever the hell it is that is turning his hands and face black and blue.

...and then prosecute.

The sentiment is the same, but the details matter (to us, and to the courts).
