The line Joe Biden used to put into nearly every big speech — “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future” — is a long way from what he says in private now.The line Joe Biden used to put into nearly every big speech — “I’ve never been more optimistic about America’s future” — is a long way from what he says in private now.
These days, multiple people who’ve spoken to him over the last year say, Biden often punctuates conversations with: “You think we can actually come back from this?”
The 83-year-old Biden continues to feel out a post-presidency that may prove to be one of the shortest in history and is already one of the most complicated.
There are days when Biden is heartbroken, indignant or in disbelief about what is happening as President Donald Trump — the man he defeated in 2020 — returned and moved not just to tear down his accomplishments, but to dig in with petty insults like the autopen photograph he put in Biden’s spot in the “Presidential Walk of Fame” installed at the White House.
HE WAS AN INSURECTIONIST, WAS BIDEN NOT AWARE BECAUSE IT WAS SEALED INFORMATION?
COPE HARDER.
I never said he wasn’t aware. It would have been a breach of procedure to make documents pertaining to an ongoing case public. Such a breach of procedure can actually allow criminals to walk free.
It would have been idiotic and unprofessional to release documents pertaining to an ongoing investigation.
Also, the insurrection case was being put together, it just needed more time. Jack Smith did all he could in the two years he was given, but the Supreme Court decided to punt their decision on whether to allow the case to go through.
There’s literally nothing more that Biden could have personally done in that regard, and if you think there was then you don’t understand the role of the president, nor do you understand the dangers of forcing or even allowing a president to claim prosecutorial powers.
