      1. One big question Biden will have to face if he's elected is what to do about Trump's corruption. There will be many calls to move on in the interest of national unity -- as Obama did with crimes of George W. Bush administration. Will he heed them?

      2. Biden's been circumspect on the corruption issue. On the one hand, he's said, prosecuting a former presiden would be a "very unusual thing and probably not very ... good for democracy" but has also said decision is up to DOJ.

          3. Some thoughts on why the next administration shouldn't shy away from a corruption fight, even if it lets Trump play the martyr.https://www.thenation.com/article/politics/corruption-biden-trump/ …

          This is the right answer. All he has to do is keep repeating it.

          I matter what happens in terms of criminal prosecutions we need a truth commission to put on the record what really happened.

          You just reminded me of that time Bernie apologized for Zephyr Teachout writing about how Biden had a corruption issue.

          I think there should be a tacit pass on Trump himself, but very professional, steady pursuit of the corrupt hangers on (this includes his family). Also, all the apparatchiks who have burrowed into the agencies *must* be discovered and sent packing..

          This is why I think Harris would be better as AG. I think she's feistier than other potential picks, like Doug Jones, and will be less likely to shy away from prosecuting Trump and his people.

          While I think I can see where he is coming from about prosecuting former presidents being bad, I believe it would be good for democracy because it would show that everyone is accountable for their crimes. The president should not be the exception from prosecution.

          Prosecute to *save* our democracy. We're on an anything goes slippery slope here. Time to stop the slide.

          Let Vance and (very soon) James do their thing. They will likely uncover stuff which a Biden DOJ won’t be able to ignore.

          The reason we had George W Bush is that so few were punished from Nixon. All the Bushies have been around the Trumpsters. So going forward, if we want to extinguish the fire, we must hold all of them accountable.
