Not at all surprising and it wouldn’t have been any different under the last administration. From the whole “rule of law” perspective you can’t really not go after somebody who committed premeditated murder on film just because his target was someone that people didn’t like.

Can you imagine Merrick Garland saying this?
The first part? Abso-fucking-lutely.
Agreed. Biden LOVED bloodying his hands.
Shocked is a strange way to say excited
The administration doesn’t have anything to do with this.
Not sure how you figure that. Trump is not exactly hands off with the Justice Department.
