Joe Biden is not âtrying to arrestâ them. Thatâs just made up. On the other hand, Trump himself constantly called for the wholesale prosecution of his opponentsâhow many times did he flatly insist that Hillary Clinton should be in jail? Less than a month before the 2020 election, he was free-styling on Fox Business and said:
âUnless Bill Barr indicts these people for crimes â the greatest political crime in history of our country â then weâll get little satisfaction . . . and that includes Obama and that includes Biden.â
That was after he had tweeted:
âDO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS, THE BIGGEST OF ALL POLITICAL SCANDALS (IN HISTORY)!!! BIDEN, OBAMA AND CROOKED HILLARY LED THIS TREASONOUS PLOT!!! BIDEN SHOULDNâT BE ALLOWED TO RUN - GOT CAUGHT!!!â
Calling for political enemies to be arrested was standard procedure for him.
âAdam Schiff illegally made up a FAKE & terrible statement, pretended it to be mine as the most important part of my call to the Ukrainian President ⊠Arrest for Treason?â
Iâm telling you, that Biden family, and others, but that Biden family is corrupt. Itâs a corrupt family.
]And with me and my kids â Let me tell you, my kids â Iâll tell you something though, it was very â Lock them up. You should lock them up. Lock up the Bidens. Lock up Hillary.
Hereâs a good one:
Bill Barr can go down as the greatest attorney general in the history of our country or he can go down as just another guy. It depends. They have all the stuff â you donât need anything else. You know, they want everything. You donât need anything else. They all lied to Congress. They were liars. They were cheaters. They were treasonous. There was treason."
That latter was on Fox. Can you imagine if a Democratic president went on NBC or wherever, and just flatly said that Merrick Garland must start prosecuting multiple Republican opponents for treason to âgo down as the greatest attorney in historyâ? And now you guys are going to crap yourselves, make KGB comparisons, and faint over this:
Cabinet heads and White House officials will meet Friday morning to discuss a range of pressing immigration issues â including âlitigation optionsâ to respond to GOP governors transporting unauthorized immigrants from the border to other parts of the country, according to planning documents viewed by Axios.
LOL. Yeah, okay. Itâs fine if you want Trump to openly, pointedly, explicitly act like a standard-issue tin-pot tyrant, directing the government to serve his personal interests and trample the legal/justice system. Thatâs what Republicans likeâwhat with all the libz to own. But if Republicans are going to be like that, then they should at least have the self-awareness not to complain about others they have falsely accused of their own â â â â â â behavior.
