Ya, but historically the potus isn’t supposed to meddle with the doj. The doj should just be prosecuting who they feel broke the law and they have a case against, in a non political way.
Yeah guys, we wouldn’t want to politicize the global elite pedophile ring with patrons from both parties. You’re just not supposed to meddle like that. Can you imagine the backlash if they had acted on this put people in prison for the things found in the Epstein files?
Well, if the president pressured the doj to go after particular individuals (like the orange moron has done), then they could be accused of using the doj as a political revenge weapon (like the orange moron has done). In a perfect world, the doj would go after the elite criminals on their own, and they’re was probably influence from lots of places (including top democrats) to not, and that is a problem of course, but not provable. But directing them to attack particular people is possibly worse as it threatens democracy.

So what
they’re was probably influence from lots of places (including top democrats) to not
Can we at least agree that this is more likely the reason they’ve continued to not touch the Epstein case?
But directing them to attack particular people is possibly worse as it threatens democracy.
One, I specifically said both parties, so it’s not “particular people”. Two, It is not more democratic to let a traitors and pedophiles free because it’s bad optics to choose a department head that actually wants to stop the massive crimes at the highest levels of society.
Up until trump, the doj was theoretically independent so as to create at least the appearance of judicial impartiality. Obviously it wasn’t, but an attempt was made to have it appear so. Now trump is using it as a personal hit squad and that means it is lost to politics, probably forever. Doing the wrong thing for the right reasons would not have made Biden a hero.
Regardless, yes; probably bill clinton pressured them to not investigate Epstein too much.
The other theory which explains the observed facts is that the DOJ has long been under political pressure from both parties of American’s Power Duopoly to bury the Epstein files, it’s just that the Democrats weren’t so brazen about their control of the gatekeeper of the American Criminal Justice System as the current bunch are.

That’s a nice theory.
