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.

    This, I blame Biden for. He knew Trump was a traitor, and did absolutely nothing about it, while telling the public every day how big of a threat Trump will be. Biden willfully allowed this to happen.

      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

      Biden’s idea was that ordering the DoJ to go after his political opponent, justified or not, would be something that would never be undone and the American people would never forgive.

      He also had faith that the American people, when presented with a choice between a bumbling fascist idiot and anyone else, they would make the right choice. If he’s right, not putting any pressure on the judicial branch should do the least damage.

      He gambled for what he thought was the overall best outcome and lost. It’s no coincidence that was also the path that required him to do nothing extreme.

      America had forgotten how to do bold things. The Dems realized they couldn’t campaign on status quo even though that was pretty decent and improving. And when they needed to come up with something more, their best answer was, “idk, $50k towards your first house, if the Republicans let us?”

      I don’t know which is worse, Obama for not forcing his Supreme Court justice through or Robert fucking Mueller, who was too fucking scared to actually outright say he’s guilty af, even if he did line everything up for Congress to draw that conclusion.

        There is a long list of people complicit in the current spiral towards dictatorship. Mueller, Comey, Roberts, Biden, Obama, Cheney (rest in piss)… Our current situation is the consequence of a rotten society. Trump is just a symptom.
