If Democrats had actually done anything to make sure this man was jailed or otherwise barred from running for office, then we wouldn't even be in this position. I sadly think they prefer that Trump is the candidate that they run against because they think he's easier to beat.

This upcoming election should have been our last line of defense, not our first.

Prison is done by the judicial system, not Congress or executive or political parties. You know, separation of powers.

Right, and had Biden appointed a better attorney general, which is totally on his hands, then maybe this would be different.

Progressives screamed at him to pick somebody else for fear of this exact outcome, but he didn't listen.

Biden and the Democrat party have no direct control over the Attorney General. It's independent. And you want it to be independent. You don't want Biden or political parties locking up people. You want an independent judicial system to do whatever that independent system will do, like I said.

Oh I recognize your username, well thank you for confirming you're being obtuse.
