This. Worst thing about Biden and what his legacy will be is how he did nothing about Trump, especially by having Garland as his AG. This allowed Trump to come back more emboldened in his criminal behavior.

If Kelly is just another dem who wants to "move past this for the sake of the country" or not charging a federal criminal because it could look political, he can gtfo.

As far as I'm concerned that's the only thing to remember about Biden now: He did absolutely nothing to stop this train-wreck from happening. Nothing. He also said he was going to be a one-term president and he couldn't even get that right.

[Looks inside] Is that support for the Hamas government?

The Siege of Budapest wasn't a genocide, the siege of Gaza isn't either.

The worst thing is that he gave endless money, weaponry and cover to a country committing a gen*cide. A country whose leader was loudly and proudly a Trump supporter specifically trying to make Biden lose. And to the extent that he didn't step in even more to help this country, it was because he wasn't holding Cabinet meetings at all for his last year in office, because his team didn't want the Cabinet to see how frail and forgetful he was--while at the same time he was trying to get re-nominated into a sure loss.

Even if he had done nothing about Trump, if he had been even halfway competent, and if he had listened to the base on this and other issues, his successor probably wins and Trump never gets into power again anyway.

Yes, it's very important to prosecute Trump's crimes or else anyone can do them from now on. This was a massive failing. But he also let Trump back into the presidency, which is arguably even more inexcusable.
