In reply to the discussion: In order to "heal the soul of the nation" President Biden MUST pursue justice against the Trump WH [View all]Mike Niendorff
(3,477 posts)44. This is not about "prosecuting political opponents"
This is about *prosecuting criminals*.
And *everybody* knows the difference at this point.
Secondly, the suggestion that he can only be prosecuted for crimes committed before or after he took office is batshit insane.
Nobody is above the law. And certainly not one who corrupts public office in the process of committing his crimes.
These defenses are long dead, and literally even not worth debating at this point.
If you don't see why, then just get out of the way and make room for those who do.
