Another complaint — for which there was no contact information provided — alleged that “calendar girls” parties at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago involved genital measurements for children.

“Jeffrey Epstein would bring the children in and trump would auction them off. He measured the children’s vulva and vaginas by entering a finger and rated the children on tightness,” the complaint reads.

Sounds like they probably should have been a little bossier. This is i credibly serious stuff and they just let it move at a snail’s pace? And what, it was so important and they were so sure they’d win the next election? The next election where they had momentum, realized it was because of progressive messaging and appealing to younger voters, and then tanked the whole thing with center-right branding because they haye winning?

No matter how you slice it it was weak bullshit.

    It's exactly because it's serious that Biden tried to do everything in the most "by the book" fashion, so that claims of partisanship could hold no water. But voters are retarded.

    How Noble! To allow fascists to seize control and end the republic in all but name!

    In principle, the Dept of Justice is meant to be completely independent of the White House. The point is to have a federal entity concerned with the law over politics. If they are failing to actually prosecute the law, then a change in leadership is needed, but as far as which specific cases to.pursuw to pursue and how, that should be separate from whichever person/party is in power.

    Edit: just the typo that's struck-through and retyped.

    Bullshit, the president appoints the attorney general, and can fire the attorney general. GTFO with your excusing, your passing the buck for these failures. Because the people that put them there are still in charge ready to do it again.

    Yes, the president appoints and fires the attorney general. However, unlike most subordinates, the attorney general is meant to execute the role without direction from the president, according to their own expertise and judgment.

    Since the attorney general may have just cause to pursue legal action against members of the administration and/or allies of the president, and since those people should not be rendered immune to prosecution based on their association with the president, it is necessary for the health of our whole government system that the attorney general act independently. If they fail to perform that job, the president should replace them - and that is a choice that should never be made lightly, as there is a gigantic potential conflict of interest.
