When we vote #Biden in to his 2nd term, #Garland needs to fucking go. It's not gonna happen any sooner than that.

@Zammer I would bet that Biden doesn’t seek a second term now. The appointment of a Special Counsel changed everything IMO.

@HelloRob I doubt the investigation lasts more than a month. Huge difference when the "target" is fully cooperating. Just my opinion though.

@HelloRob I think we're in different times. Post-Trump scandals don't hit like they used to. They will try to drag it out but it will only hold water with their base. Biden doesn't let himself get dragged into the mud, that's what made him the ideal candidate. And with DeSantis on deck, he'll be up against the same thing.

@Zammer I feel like I did when the ‘Hillary’s emails’ story first came out. I told people it would be the end of her campaign. Everyone tried to tell me it was no big deal and would never amount to anything. Democratic scandals never go quietly. Look at how swiftly they got rid of Al Franken for a mundane & silly photo where the other party was in on the joke.

@Zammer We’re not in different times though. I’m sure you saw the House Judiciary Committee has now opened an investigation into Biden’s classified docs today too. My guess is this will end up being far worse than Hillary’s emails.

@HelloRob you have to take into account the people involved. Hillary, who they had been demonizing for 30 years and whose husband actually did have major scandals vs Joe Biden, the incumbant President who doesn't have any major scandals and even encouraged an investigation. He doesn't have the trust or likability issues she had pre built in. If it wasn't documents, it would've been Afghanistan or some other shit. I'm not afraid of their committees, people are much more worried about themselves.

@HelloRob I would be more afraid if Robert Hur had a history of right wing bias. Everything about him seems to say he's a pro. This is more about due diligence than investigating a crime. Because it's pretty obvious one hasn't happened. I did briefly have the thought of "what if this is a RW coup from the inside" but the majority of these people hate people like Trump and those who politicize the office. Ask yourself what Durham has mattered. Nothing. And he's biased as fuck.

@Zammer Dan Rather had a really good blog post about this just a few minutes ago. Seems like he agrees with me. He thinks Biden could be in serious trouble, especially, as Rather noted, from a Special Counsel led by a very conservative trump appointee. And he mentions that Special Counsels often peel back layers of other info found along the way, moving the investigation(s) in new directions. My gut says Biden will not run again, and may even resign before his term is up.

@HelloRob I will agree that it's bullshit that yet another Republican prosecutor gets the nod here, that's an imbalance that must be corrected.
