Former President Joe Biden experienced such “cognitive decline” while in office that it remains a serious question as to whether he was aware of the substance of the various pardons and commutations signed in his name via autopen, the GOP-controlled House Oversight Committee asserted in a letter it sent to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging her to consider whether that clemency might be invalid and to take action for potential prosecution against some of Biden’s aides.
The committee “deems void President Biden’s executive actions that were signed using the Autopen, and the committee determines that action by the Department of Justice is warranted to address the legal consequences of that determination,” it wrote to Bondi released Tuesday morning.
A criminal investigation is a bit more complex topic than homework. You can’t pick and choose the things, you need to conduct a thorough investigation uncovering every potentially relevant fact and building a case based on that. Miss evidence, miss a connection, and your case is thrown out during cross-examination. How do you think it sounds to a judge that oops, you didn’t do this and that and that, investigating connected crimes etc., because you “wanted a quick conviction”?
Trump’s crimes were incredibly inter-connected, and the court case wasn’t to convince voters but to convince a judge.
Voters are convinced by even simple rumours, you don’t even need an actual criminal investigation, just lie and spread the rumour that one is happening, and bam, you got a bunch of people now dead-set against whomever these made up investigations are happening of. That’s how MAGA operates, that’s how the whole Hunter Biden thing went on and frenzied half your country. Wild rumours until a fraction of what they were shouting materialised, and literally all they’ve got to show for it is his dick pics on the Senate and House floor… But the average MAGA was convinced and that was enough.
Do you think the reverse would be enough? Just dirty Trump until MAGA turns away? Frivolous lawsuits based on partial investigations? That would just further convince MAGA that it’s a baseless, political witch-hunt.
That is definitely not true in America where:

People almost exclusively are having their crimes “picked and chosen”.
That’s the entire basis of modern justice system.
You pull over a speeder and find a joint, the cop can just let it go. The prosecutor could decide to drop it. Multiple people at every step “pick and choose” before and after charges are filed…
