Joe Biden looks to outside observers as just being as corrupt as Trump.

Joe Biden must be independent but let his DOJ investigate Trump and the Trump administration completely. If laws are broken then Trump and his helpers must be punished under the laws of the United States.

Any other course of action would appear to be a ‘cover up”. Joe Biden is an honest man. So he must let an honest investigate proceed on it’s own coarse.

There can be no honest going forward without correcting the lawlessness of a person who acted in a capacity that put them above the law of the land.

Prosecute all of them!

But I can explain things a lot more simply and directly:

If Trump gets away with his crimes, it will only inspire other criminals to do the same or worse later on, because that's how the criminal mind works - if it sees that it can get away with something, it will definitely attempt to do so. And I worry a lot about the "or worse" clause, because it's very real. American democracy may have escaped just through dumb luck or by the skin of its teeth this time, but next time, when we have a smarter criminal mind in charge, we may not be so lucky.

A case could be made that we got Donald Trump this time because the previous Republican president, George W. Bush, was not held adequately accountable for his crimes. And that could have played an important role in inspiring Trump to run for president.
