Does seem marginally better lately, but the front page word counts are still skewed:

Trump: 34

“This has been the most corrupt administration in modern American history,” Biden said. “The Justice Department has turned into the president’s private law firm.”
“It’s become the Department of Trump,” Biden said at a summit for Black business owners and educators in Charlotte, North Carolina, a key swing state in the 2020 election.
Biden said that if elected, the Justice Department will be “totally independent” of him as president.
“I will not direct them who to prosecute, how to prosecute, what to prosecute,” Biden said. “I will not enter their decisions based upon the judgments they make about what cases they bring.”

Ahem. Let me clarify the above for all those past and present associated with the current maladministration.

What this says is that starting in January, it’s open season on you. Cheers!

A bit on the lame side, Americans have grown used to over the top proclamations… something like “Barr has turned the DoJ into a den of iniquity, where all kind of crimes and perversions are practiced and puppies are sacrificed at the altar of impostor god Trump”

Nobody can keep with Trump at saying outrageous and stupid things, and coming from the President and Commander in Chief of the US of A it’s newsworthy. You know look who has the trigger on 10000 nuclear bombs.

Lemme guess, he wants to cheer on the cops already attacking protesters in Louisville.

In other words, when AG Schiff decides to haul trump’s cabal before a grand jury, Joe will not intervene.
All those admin officials who used their office for financial gain. All those crimes against humanity committed by DHS, CBP and INS. Crimes we cannot yet imagine. All those republicans who took foreign money during the 2016 campaign. They know they’re caught and need trump to stay in power to keep them from prosecution. They’re desperate to keep trump in power.

Why? Just because Trump expects Barr to be his Roy Cohn style consigliere, and Barr is only too ready to enthusiastically comply? Oh, yeah, I guess that does sound like a Department of Trump, criminal.

He shouldn’t say anything about this. Barr and Pence shouldn’t say anything about this.

‘Nanny Gilmartin’ shouldn’t say anything about this.

That presser should be tight and based on ‘1,2,3,4’.

It won’t happen and that said, neither Paul and McConnell should say anything about thi…
