I believe my last post failed to communicate to you what I intended.
I'm not saying the DOJ under Biden did right, I am saying I don't understand why you expected them to do different than they did. To me that is a totally fantastical expectation.
Your apparent expectations for Biden's DOJ are way too high, imo, way out of step with the DOJ's long institutional history (timidity and kid gloves with the rich and well-connected; the reverse with the poor and marginalized). The DOJ is a small "c" conservative institution, and has been as long as most of us have been alive. Electing Biden had no effect on their nature.
Biden was a "establishment" guy not a "LOL, let's break stuff" guy, he was always going to leave the DOJ to its own devices. And so the DOJ did as they usually do.
