Biden is not a prosecutor.
That's the job of the Justice Dept which is supposed to be independent of the WH and not take marching orders from the President.
Biden is the kind of honorable old school political leader who respects that so he wouldn't have had anything to do with it anyway.
Do you know the Attorney General reports to the President? Why don't you folk understand our government?!
Reports to is one thing, but the AG is supposed to be independent from the President in what he chooses to investigate and/or prosecute.
Most honest Presidents like Biden and others stay away from influencing their AGs.
A crook like Trump has no problem with ordering his AG to go after his political enemies.
I can't believe you don't understand that.
Why would the DOJ and AG be part of the Executive Branch?
People who say shit like that generally don't know their assholes from potholes.
I saw a report that Biden had a dementia diagnosis in 2015....this aint complicated.
What other branch would it be under?
Reporting to a President about the department operations, budgetary matters, personal matters, policy matters etc, etc, is completely aside from taking orders about who to go after criminally.
That is not supposed to happen and can create a lot of problems if a President is caught doing it.
Have you never heard of Richard M. Nixon and his AG John Mitchell?
He did everything he was told by the President and it didn't work out well for either of them.
Exactly. The DOJ is under legal rule by the President.
You "saw a report"....
And where did you see this "report"?
Fox News?
Breitbart?
Some gun nut magazine?
That was Garland. Biden gave him the job and the power to make decisions.
it also aint true.
But not for decisions about who to investigate and prosecute.
You obviously know nothing about this.
Google might help you.
That's what every President is supposed to do.
Trump of course, did exactly the opposite.
Department of Justice Independence - Protect Democracy
Protect Democracy works to protect Department of Justice (DOJ) Independence

Let me understand this argument. Every job in America has a boss. But the AG is the boss of the President.
