They're crafty sometimes... I think the strategy is "Cop to a lesser charge" ie: get Trump out of the way with questionably sick stuff, softballs that are inconclusive, etc... and then start burying it with continual releases of others, possibly worse or more obvious misdeeds. Photos of Pol's with a kid sitting in their lap will bury dirty letters and inuendo.

Look for anyone on Team Blue, Blue donors & Hollywood to start being paraded out this fall and over the holidays, is my guess.

Statutes of limitations, possibly. Ocelot II Sep 9 #7

There still should have been an investigation of who else was involved. They didn't do sex trafficking just for everyonematters Sep 9 #9

There is no statute of limitations for sex trafficking or rape on the federal level. On statutory rape, in depends on everyonematters Sep 9 #11

DOJ Merrick Garland's call, not Biden's. Garland, not one of our favorites thereafter. nt Festivito Sep 9 #16

We need to get over this notion that all of our Politians are perfect human beings. They are fallible like the rest of everyonematters Sep 9 #19

That's a question for Merrick Garland. Wiz Imp Sep 9 #21

It may have been completely his decision, maybe not. It may have been just an oversight because of all the attention everyonematters Sep 10 #22

No maybe about it. Garland was head of DOJ. He decided what cases to pursue and what not to pursue. Wiz Imp Sep 10 #23

How could you know that for sure? Do you think that the 40% of the registered voters who are not Democrats everyonematters Sep 10 #25

😲🤦🏻‍♂️🙄 Sheesh. There is absolutely zero evidence of Biden ever inserting himself into a DOJ case. Wiz Imp Sep 10 #26

I'm not accusing him of anything. I am just saying the question needs to be answered. everyonematters Sep 10 #28

And I told you that was a question for Merrick Garland to answer but you wouldn't accept that answer. Wiz Imp Sep 10 #29

Biden was ultimately responsible for the exectutive branch. He could have inquired why no action was being taken. everyonematters Sep 10 #30
