      Well for starters it was under active investigation, and took a literal act of congress to release the files. This required a few Republicans to cross party lines to get them released, something they absolutely refused to do to give the Biden administration a win. To be clear, he absolutely could have done more and tried to pull some high road bullshit, but to pretend it’s the same as literally actively stopping the probes is fucking bonkers.

      This might sound crazy, but until recently, presidents didn’t act like dictators and mostly stayed out of federal investigations because that was a massive conflict of interest. So it was nowhere near Biden’s job to do anything like that. Perhaps you’re too young to remember how this is supposed to work?

      Ideally, presidents should never get involved in investigations because that’s a path to dictatorship. But here we are now, I guess.

  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have comments or posts removed, weaponize reports, or violate the code of conduct, will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That’s all the rules!
