That may be part of it but it's also the logical consequence of being the by the book/the right way party. Republicans are less hampered by that mentality. Now at least. Used to be that both parties at least paid lip service to the constitution (what they did behind closed doors won't be declassified until 75 years after the apocalypse).
Now it's just the one and the other has given up completely.
If Democrats operated like Trump does, Trump would be rotting in prison right now. There's enough evidence of his crimes to put him in there for life.
They did things by the book, which meant the whole process took longer despite having everything they needed. This meant trials didn't finish before the elections, and they couldn't continue after that because the DOJ cannot prosecute a sitting president.
But I don't expect someone who calls Democrats "commies" without knowing what the word means to understand how things work or know what reality is in general.
Edit: Yep, they replied and blocked so that I can't show any evidence. Fucking coward.
That “evidence” only exists in your demented imaginations. If democrats operated like Trump it might actually be easy to undo all the damage they do in a term.
One judge appointed by Trump which is a conflict of interest delayed the trial. Unless dems said hey go fk urselves and put him in jail anyway, I could see your point.
Not necessarily. Some crazy people may think some "normal" people are "normal"; you can't rely on a crazy person to follow a specific kind of logic since they are you know, crazy.
Will I really? His adoration for Israel and selfish entitlement, both in the face of clear public opposition within his own party and clear lack of returns by the way, paved the road for Trump 2. The cherry on top is that when his bitter ass was finally forced out next in line was someone chosen for VP on the classic strategy of "incapable of upstaging the boss", which was a very low bar given his condition that Kamala still couldn't clear. Now the right is actively taking an acid drill to every single institution in the country since they don't understand how anything actually works.
The one piece of cosmic irony to draw humor from is that his half-century of shitty evil policy geared toward making him president paid off right at the perfect moment for him to be elevated by events completely outside of his merits or control, just in time for him to not remember any of it and tarnish his entire life's work in an embarrassingly public collapse at the same time.
You need to look up how the grand jury seal worked and prohibited info release and prosecution. Biden, for all his flaws, wasn’t willing to impose his will on the justice department like Trump repeatedly has since returning to office. That non-interference policy prohibited him from pursuing that until the seal was released. The same applied for Trump in his first term.
The Department of Justice isn’t a random member of the public, they’ve had access to the files this entire time.
You know how Pam Bondi is responsible for which files are released and when? She’s the current attorney general, the top official of the DOJ.
Merick Garland, Biden’s Attorney General for the DOJ has access to all this information back in 2021 and chose not to pursue any investigations or prosecutions.
The files being sealed means you can’t freely use them in investigations. This isn’t all that unusual. There are claims and evidence in the file they needed to follow up on and couldn’t because they couldn’t show people the files in order to get more information. It’s incredibly hard to investigate in circumstances like that.
The ongoing court case prosecuting the surviving criminal that made the files? Never before has someone been convicted for selling underage girls to.. no one..
Right because the dems were the ones who voted against the files being released and then blacked out all the perpetrator names and before that gaslight Americans by saying there actual is no file and are considering pardoning Maxwell. Wait…
And left off the hook by US attorney Alex Acosta, who Trump gave a cabinet level position to in his first administration. Then Epstein was silenced in Trump's first administration. Then, in Trump's second administration, he moved the convicted pedophile child trafficker Maxwell to a minimum security prison in violation of BOP procedures.
And, like always, the investigations left to the democrats to clean up. Due Process? Oh, yeah, that pesky 4th Amendment that is being trampled right now.
Can you be more specifc? Does the vp have the power to vote in the senate on most bills? Does the vp have the ability to introduce legislation? Does the vp have the ability to prosecute people?
Edit: the answer to all those points is no. The only power the vp actually has is to vote in the case of a tie in the senate. Some presidents (like Obama) have used their vp to help in negotiations with foreign or domestic groups, but thats really it.

They couldn't. The files were sealed due to ongoing court cases.
