Trump warns the DOJ may well prosecute Joe Biden himself, since Mr. Biden did not grant himself a pardon on his way out the door.

Biden certainly deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But I fear the SCOTUS ruling protecting Presidents from prosecution for official acts will make it quite difficult to take down Screwless Joe. And Trump may be reluctant to see it happen as it means the Democrats will prosecute him when he gets out (again). Not that they won't try anyway.

Biden figured Trump won' dare.

BTW this article states:

"It concerns me in terms of what kind of precedent it sets and how the rest of the world looks (at) us as a nation of laws and justice,” Biden said during his first joint interview.

"I’m not going to be telling them what they have to do and don’t have to do,” Biden said.

"I’m not going to be saying, ‘go prosecute A, B or C’, I’m not going to be telling them. That’s not the role, it’s not my Justice Department, it’s the people’s Justice Department.”

"So the persons or person I pick to run that department are going to be people who are going to have the independent capacity to decide who gets prosecuted, who doesn’t.”

Like Don Corleone said when he realized Barzini was the man pulling the strings in the movie The Godfather "Barzini is a man who knows that without being told". That was equally true of Biden's consigliere Merrick Garland.

But will Biden and the Democrats extend the same courrtesy to Donald Trump should Pam Bondi file charges? Somehow I doubt it.

Something has to be done about these people. While it may not be politically expedient to prosecute Biden, it certainly wuold be the wise course when looking at the big picture. The political class must know it is a very dangerous game to play.
