Joe Biden says his administration will NOT be consumed investigating the Trump administration.

[Stinky The Clown]

Sadly, that is arguably a reasonable man's position. But things that are arguable, by definition, two sides and all that exists between those two sides.

Being consumed by investigations and following evidence of crimes are two different things. What, for example, happens when Gina Haspel, whether still Director or not, tells the story of the Russian connections? What happens when a deputy assistant undersecretary tells of Betsy DeVoss scammerisims. What about when a driver/bodyguard for Pompeo outlines his connections to Putin and his work as Putin's conduit to Trump?

Will all of that go away? Get swept south of the pattern on the rug? Be announced and then slow walked?

Somehow I think Biden will allow his Justice Department to do what needs to be done. Perhaps by Special Prosecutor. Perhaps by some new internal task force or commission. I also think he will wave off Congress to avoid a side show. Pelosi will honor that for the right reasons. So will Schumer, if it is up to him. McConnell, for very different reasons, or not, will also avoid a public spectacle.

I think these things are certain to get investigated and prosecuted . . . . if they happened.

I think it is safe to assume, things did . . . . . happen.

1. No, he said that he *doesn't* want it to consume his administration.

7. I actually meant to say that. Changed the thread title.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

2. I hope our President-elect will do those investigations. They need to be done. n/t

[TigressDem]

3. He needs an INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATOR. I nominate Mike Papantonio to put the guilty away.

Joe needs to protect the whistle blowers and let the DOJ and Special Prosecutor lead the way.

I don't think ANY pResident in history has walked away from the White House with as much legal trouble following him and nipping at his heels.


BUT the fires that tRump leaves burning, all the idiots he has appointed to positions to keep himself from being impeached a hundred times over, THAT will keep Biden busy.

8. I think Trump has maintained his revolving door so none of his lackeys know the . . . .

. . . . whole story of what he's up to.

[TigressDem]

15. So bring the ALL together and knit the tapestry together.

The story is STILL there.

4. Is there a link to validate your assertion? nt

17. Well, any one who challenges him has been thrown out.

Mark Esper wouldn't condone using troops to quell BLM protests. He thought it was an overreach of power.

CISA Director Christopher Krebs had recently butted heads with the White House over his agency's Rumor Control blog, which rebuts false claims of election fraud and hacking.

Sidney Powell... well maybe Mz Cuckoo Bird who doesn't know that Hugo Chavez has been dead for over 7 years deserved it, but she was supporting his crazy in her most reckless way, almost a mirror image.... OH... OK makes sense. NO ONE Out Donald's the Donald.

5. It would be a happy surprise to see any repercussions on any of the criminal behavior.

I have no faith it will happen. It needs to. It is important.

[pbmus]

6. His AG should be consumed with investigations, not his administration

[Poiuyt]

10. Some people are above the law

[ansible]

11. I think Biden did some backroom dealing with Trump to get him to concede

No US president has ever gone to prison before, and I don't think Biden was ever ready to break that trend.

[shanti]

16. Biden has no control

over what the state of NY does.

[judeling]

12. He will let his AG go where the law leads but ...

he is going to want it to be death by a thousand cuts.

[ecstatic]

13. Let a non-republican Special Prosecutor handle it

No more Mueller types. No more self-righteous Comey types.

Biden should not be personally involved in the investigation and prosecution.

Let me be clear, I do NOT believe Biden will protect trump, but if he were to break my heart and do so, he would be crossing my one and only red line. I would toss him into the same category as trump, mitch and the other GOP criminals.

That being said, there's no need for us to contemplate this right now. For once, I hope we can have a week or so to relax and celebrate the landslide victory over trump! We saved America, guys! That's huge!

[jaysunb]

14. I'm sure there will be a Warren/Kerner type Commission established to

Look into the past four years and give a detailed report.
There Will be prosecution, but it won't be directed or advocated by Biden..

Bet on it.
