[Hoot Gibson]

If Biden hadn’t pardoned Hunter I thought Trump should have and I also think Biden should go ahead and pardon people from the Jan 6 fiasco…At some point this has to stop otherwise no one who holds office or the family is gonna be safe from this….None of us on this thread or any of the politicians are gonna agree along party lines on who and who shouldn’t be in prison, the lawfare just needs to stop, it’s making us look like a 3rd world country….

I agree with you about ending lawfare but criminals must be held accountable. Even if Joe Biden pardons every crook in this corrupt administration, there must be investigations to determine how the Department of Justice, national intelligence agencies, and the IRS were so thoroughly corrupted and reforms must be made to make it more difficult for the systems to be corrupted again in the future. 

I'm not talking about public hearings where more speeches are given than answers. Public hearings are not a very efficient way to gather facts. Reports should be public except where classified information is involved, but most hearings should be done behind closed doors.

Let's not forget that the lawfare during the past 4 years has been almost exclusively waged by Democrats against Trump. Legitimate Congressional investigations into Biden's corruption have been thwarted by the DoJ's refusal to enforce contempt of Congress actions against uncooperative Democrat witnesses.

Oversight of executive agencies is a Congressional responsibility and simply moving on after such severe abuse of presidential power is a sure way of allowing further corruption in the future. That is the path to becoming a banana Republic.
