  even if those pedophiles were in his party

  I disagree with you on this. I fully believe that Biden is enough of a status-quo type that he would withhold the documents if there were enough names to significantly damage the current Democrat hierarchy.

  I respect the job he did while president, but Biden wasn’t rocking the boat any more than he had to.

  Do you think Biden would have covered for pedophiles, if they had evidence that would incriminate?

  given the vast number of frequent flier miles Bill Clinton had to the island, hell yeah. We forget Trump was once buddies with Democrats.

    Also democrats tend to keep more of an arms length with doj. This idea that they would go rutting through everything looking to use it for political gain like trump is a bit rediculous given historically we do not see the behavior with them. Heck they would pause if they knew he was on with concerns about harming the office of the presidency.

  You seem to have forgotten that Biden was a weak, ineffectual president who ran on a platform he mostly failed to deliver. He acted like he was scared of using executive orders, and made a lot of stink about niche issues like a student loan forgiveness, but even on those couple issues he was hamstrung by courts and republicans.

  If Biden had been handed a smoking gun of evidence that would have put Trump behind bars, he would have opted to shelve it in a drawer because “presidential decorum blah blah blah”.

  How quickly we adapt. The president SHOULDN’T control the DOJ. separation of powers is supposed to be a thing.
