      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/ …

          Ignoring it would be the biggest mistake he could make.

          On the other hand, we’ve been ignoring or minimizing Republican crimes for years (Iran-contra, Iraq WMD) and look where we are.

          Trump needs to be investigated to find out why he believes Putin over our Intel Community. Start there.

          Your take on sidestepping this from a federal level and letting state AGs pursue prosecutions?

          Or, just let New York stat do the prosecuting.

          Democrats are reluctant to prosecute obvious Republican corruption because the implied threat of armed right wing violence hangs over the polity like the sword of Damocles.

          The people are so sick of seeing the wealthy and powerful walk after committing crimes. Trump has been getting away with it his whole life. Enough! It’s time they face consequences.

          Given that we’ll be looking at a corrupt former President who corrupted and politicized DOJ, I think Biden would be well served to resurrect some kind of independent prosecutor’s office to make the calls about prosecuting Trump and Team Trump, and to police Biden White House.
