SloJoe Biden has pledged not to pardon Trump were he to beat the odds and get elected president next fall. Interesting! On the other hand, AG Barr has contemporaniously indicated that it is very unlikely that either Obama or Biden will be hauled before the docks in what Trump has dubbed “Obamagate.” In other words, even if our previous administration was up to their eyeballs in trying to overthrow their follow-ons, because of a vague notion of preserving a semblance of peaceful transition of power, the previous villanous top conspirators will skate.
Now, I understand the logic of Barr’s stance ... and am not surprised at Biden’s petty campaign grandstanding ... but there needs some sober reflection on this giving a pass to previous presidents and vice presidents from any criminal prosecutions. I tend to think that Biden’s stance makes more sense ... but let’s be frank ... if Obama and Biden were involved in subterfuge against Trump and the Trump administration, they should be prosecuted and appropriately punished.
Why do I feel this way?
If justice is not served, then as we have repeatedly seen, the next offense is even more audacious ... and I think that the Obama miscreants crossed a threshold of tolerance. Barr is wrong. Even if their crimes implicate the top dogs, the previous administration needs to be brought to heel.
The Dems have already telegraphed that, if Biden were to win, they will try to prosecute Trump. Turnaround is fair play.

Barr is not pressing forward because there is no evidence of wrong doing. Just because it's a conspiracy theory doesn't mean its true. Stop watching those conspiracy channels.
Mr. Menjou,
Are you talking about MSNBC? CNN? ABC? CBS? NBC? CNBC? Or even the Comedy Channel?
Let me know ... Che
Barr has read the Mueller report. He knows that the crap that has been covered-up will eventually be revealed and he wants to repair his tarnished reputation.
"Obamagate" is a fiction made-up by Trump to divert attention from this administration's pathetic mid-handling of the response to the Corona Virus pandemic.
You risk sullying your own reputation by quacking with these lying ducks.
I thought I was already sullied?
