Comment on President Trump reacts to President Biden’s cancer diagnosis: "I don't feel sorry for him"
NABDad@lemmy.world 2 days agoFailing to prosecute a known criminal out of a fear of appearing nakedly partisan/political is, as it turns out, as bad as corrupting the justice dept to make it nakedly partisan/political.
Biden should have had an AG who went after criminals regardless of the political consequences.
Firing the AG for not prosecuting the cases you want prosecuted, IS nakedly political.
The DOJ’s independence is one of the strongest guardrails protecting American democracy and why so many decent people have resigned rather than submit.
Look at trials in Russia (about which there are some amazing albeit depressing documentaries) to see where a coopted justice department ends up.
Well, your so called guardrails were never anything more than a gentleman’s agreement, that much is plainly obvious.
The simple fact is Garland’s DoJ completely failed to provide timely justice for the citizens of the USA. Full fucking stop.
Those same guardrails have repeatedly stopped trump this term.
Just because things didn’t happen as you wish they did does not mean they failed, full fucking stop.
Incorrect. The Judicial branch has stopped Trump.
The Executive Branch & Judicial branch are separate.
The current DoJ has done every single illegal thing Trump has requested.
Agreed. The problem was the appointment.
