Biden faces politically thorny decision on Trump prosecutions
By Harper Neidig - 11/22/20 08:00 AM EST

One of the biggest tests awaiting President-elect Joe Biden after he takes office is how his Justice Department will handle calls from some Democrats to investigate and prosecute President Trump.

Trump will lose expansive legal protections after Jan. 20, and the new administration will have to decide whether to follow up on congressional and local law enforcement investigations or try to turn the page on the Trump era and avoid the political risks that could come with such an unprecedented court case.

No former president has ever been charged with a crime after leaving office, but Trump is already the subject of a number of probes. In New York, the state attorney general and the Manhattan district attorney are conducting fraud investigations into his past business practices.

I hope he does go after Trump.  That will keep them busy on that with less time to destroy everything.  It will keep Trump in the news, and he will be perceived as being a martyr.  If he wants to run in 2024, it will only help him.

All this let's indict Trump is more empty commie rhetoric.

Biden will not want that if he has half a brain, but then again, that is the problem.  He is an old man easily manipulated, according to AOC.  I am sure AOC wants Trump drawn and quartered.  Literally!
