Here you have concern about election interference, yet advocating Biden's DOJ violate department regs or some other departure from procedure to prosecute the AG's boss' political rival in the election.
What's the principle there? Have DOJ focus on winning the election for Democrats (OR REPUBLICANS), instead of following evidence where it leads and putting in front of the grand juries that the federal justice system uses to determine charges?
What other crimes committed should DOJ put their thumb on the scale to prosecute? Where's the line? Who decides it?
Why have any rules guiding investigators and prosecutors at DOJ, for that matter? Maybe they should just make rules up as they go along to suit whatever political or partisan goal they want to achieve.
