A handful of documents found by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago were so sensitive that even a senior Justice Department official didn’t have authorization to see them.

    Biden could have done more, but Trump was charged and was in the process of being tried when Aileen Cannon blocked it. The appeal was abandoned when Trump was reelected. If the case was in front of an actual unbiased jurist, it would have gone much farther, but Cannon is pretty infamous for being a biased and inadequate jurist

      It was a solid two years before charges were filed. He should have been arrested the second he left the Whitehouse, and thrown in some cell deep underground. If Biden had wanted the man thrown in prison, he’d be in prison.

      And he literally weaponized a pandemic. He should have been tried by the military for war crimes and domestic terrorism.

      The system failed as it so often does. This failure was perhaps novel for the sheer amount of corruption it took, but hardly unprecedented.

        No. What is unprecedented is the willful mismanagement of an epidemic that you allow to spiral into a pandemic so you can ineptly weaponize it against your own citizens like the special Ed kid at super villain school. And then throwing a temper tantrum that results in a capitol riot.

          Yeah the weaponizing of COVID against our own citizens was beyond insane. I remember someone threatening to kill me on Facebook because I said use precautions and be safe.

          The fact that a bunch of people he pardoned went on to commit felonies kind of says everything.
