Former President Joe Biden experienced such “cognitive decline” while in office that it remains a serious question as to whether he was aware of the substance of the various pardons and commutations signed in his name via autopen, the GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee asserted in a letter it sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging her to consider whether that clemency might be invalid and to take action for potential prosecution against some of Biden’s aides.
The committee “deems void President Biden’s executive actions that were signed using the Autopen, and the committee determines that action by the Department of Justice is warranted to address the legal consequences of that determination,” it wrote to Bondi released Tuesday morning.
The issue was the amount of illegal shit they did, that resulted in the various proceedings. The discovery for all the crimes went on too long, and as you’ve seen from the lawsuits that were thrown out… it’s not wise to start one without rock solid evidence and a fully built case.
On the other hand the moment SCOTUS ruled that any official act of POTUS is fully legal, regardless of technical legality, he should’ve had Trump shot. Period.

So pick one thing and focus on that…
For fucks sake this is basically life advice given to children:

But if you’re saying Biden and his admin we’re too stupid to know that, I actually disagree.
I think they were doing the classic neoliberal move where they say they’re “investigating” but then they just run down the clock and say “aww shucks, we ran out of time”.
Because that’s what he also did with: cannabis decriminalization, better healthcare, more social programs, justice reform, LGBTQ rights…
Basically, fucking everything.
But you’re saying, that you believe Biden and his people, were just genuinely too stupid to focus on specific crimes and they couldn’t build a case against trump for anything?
A criminal investigation is a bit more complex topic than homework. You can’t pick and choose the things, you need to conduct a thorough investigation uncovering every potentially relevant fact and building a case based on that. Miss evidence, miss a connection, and your case is thrown out during cross-examination. How do you think it sounds to a judge that oops, you didn’t do this and that and that, investigating connected crimes etc., because you “wanted a quick conviction”?
Trump’s crimes were incredibly inter-connected, and the court case wasn’t to convince voters but to convince a judge.
Voters are convinced by even simple rumours, you don’t even need an actual criminal investigation, just lie and spread the rumour that one is happening, and bam, you got a bunch of people now dead-set against whomever these made up investigations are happening of. That’s how MAGA operates, that’s how the whole Hunter Biden thing went on and frenzied half your country. Wild rumours until a fraction of what they were shouting materialised, and literally all they’ve got to show for it is his dick pics on the Senate and House floor… But the average MAGA was convinced and that was enough.
Do you think the reverse would be enough? Just dirty Trump until MAGA turns away? Frivolous lawsuits based on partial investigations? That would just further convince MAGA that it’s a baseless, political witch-hunt.
That is definitely not true in America where:

People almost exclusively are having their crimes “picked and chosen”.
That’s the entire basis of modern justice system.
You pull over a speeder and find a joint, the cop can just let it go. The prosecutor could decide to drop it. Multiple people at every step “pick and choose” before and after charges are filed…
