    I don't think Biden is a saint by any stretch, but the idea that as VP he took a $5 million bribe is a bit over the top. Beyond being incredibly stupid, I doubt he has the means to launder the money given his lack of business enterprise.

    the DOJ is already weaponized, and has been for the last 14 years.

    Cocaine Mitch warned about the consequences of violating long standing tradition, and the current state of the Supreme Court is a direct consequence of Harry Reid's arrogance.

    pity the same thing might happen to Biden.

    he is a scumbag with zero credibility. But why don’t you tell me what his opinion piece has to do with my post that you were responding to?

    Which one of those three instructed trump to take national security documents, not return them, share them with people, then lie about it and hide them?

    You keep on saying that but I think you are talking about something else. Why don't you explain what you meant by 'weaponizing the DOJ'? Could you also provide some concrete examples of it over the last 14 years?

    That is simplification for dummies.

    A special counsel is typically granted autonomy and independence to conduct their investigation.

    They are usually legally protected against arbitrary termination.

    Which proves no point at all, except the customary chain of command.

    Like with most suspects the plead guilty, they were less than they would have been had he instructed justice, and not plead guilty.

    "typically" is doing a lot of work here.

    Fined, years of probation and gave up his license to practice law. You could've looked that up yourself.
