(39,845 posts)AG's don't go after former AG's. They can but they don't.
Especially while they're trying to rebuild their current Dept of Justice and hire more competent Division enforcement teams to replace the political and incompetent ones Barr left behind when he suddenly resigned in December 2020.
The decision to investigate and prosecute a former AG has to be based on the strength of the evidence and whether a crime is believed to have been committed.
You act as if you knew there was evidence of Barr's criminality all along. You didn't. You don't.
Sure, investigating a former AG is legal, but pursuing charges against a former AG can be highly politicized due to the high profile nature of the position.
So now you decide the Biden administration should have endured a big political fight that Joe would have had on his hands right at the point of the Covid pandemic, all that while he had to hit the ground running to rebuild its supply chains covid broke, and an enduring economy.
Bitch slap Garland all you want, but your shoulda/woulda/coulda claims are nothing but weak hearsay hype.
