Pwnallthethings: I don't think Biden should call Garland to his office and demand he open a criminal investigation immediately against Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Trump, and every executive at Fox News on charges of treason by tomorrow or he's fired, but if he /did/ do that, it wouldn't be criminal

Now to be very clear, *I* think if Biden did that then Biden should go to prison for what I think is a thing that ought to be super obviously a non-official use of his presidential powers the exercise of which should be criminal. But, y'know, I don't get to wear the fancy robes, so what do I know

DoJ should be investigating Thomas without being told. He's hardly hiding his criminal behaviour.

new campaign slogan drops: mad king joe lfg

The problem is that SCOTUS will cite the IOKIYAR clause that they imagine is in the Constitution, and decide that Joe doesn't get immunity.

I dont, and he won't. But the Trusts will prosecute every democratic leader they possibly can, to help take eyes away from the coming economic crash brought about by massive corruption and ejecting 15 million crucial workers from the country. And the fucking NYT will play along.

He should go on TV and announce he’s doing it because the court just said it’s ok.

And Biden has nothing to lose by doing this. He's the dam president,and he has the power right now.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Nothing to lose? Just think of what the New York Times editorial board would have to say.

If Biden did this, I believe his poll numbers would improve to around 95% for re-election. This is America.

Also official act? Having agents break into campaign headquarters of someone who tried to overthrow the government.

Fuck opening an investigation. Raid them, capture them and hold them in Guantanamo as enemy combatants. Everybody wants to play with other people's money. Time for these fuckers to have some skin in the game themselves.

It’s a clear exercise of constitutional power.

The gauche non-gauche barrier will need to be pierced in order to actually fight this

I disagree. I think he should do it

They've made the decision in November very simple. Who cares whether Biden is on the ballot, or senile? If you have a grade-school understanding of democracy, vote for every candidate with a D next to their name. m.youtube.com/watch?v=WvOZ...

I agree; he shouldn't do that. There's a different conversation he should have with the joint chiefs instead

Actually, I think I am fine with that idea.

What about just directing the declassification and release of records they already have on them? FBI background checks, redacted bits from Mueller report and the intel behind it, the full Ukraine call transcript, all of Jack Smith's stuff. Go WikiLeaks on their asses.

Also, ignore the pardons. Drag Manafort and Stone back to prison. Order them both tried for treason. Dump their FBI files on the NYT. I'm sure *someone* had a tail on Giuliani when he went to Ukraine, probably even wiretaps. Release it.

Assumes facts not in evidence. The democrats have no spine. Merck Garland and Dick Durbin are the Democratic Party.

And I don't think Biden should call Yellen into his office and demand that she freeze every bank account of Trump, his campaign, his lawyers, his PACs and the RNC while a thorough investigation for money laundering or campaign finance violations is carried out, but now he can.

why shouldnt he do that?
