Yesterday the DOJ argued in a brief that it should be permitted to substitute itself for former president Trump as defendant in a defamation lawsuit.
The flawed argument goes that Trump was an employee of the government and that he acted "within the scope of employment" the department, rather than Trump personally, should serve as defendant in the case.
Meanwhile the White House claimed it wasn't consulted by the DOJ on the decision to file the brief.
Why not? Isn't part of Biden's job to right the wrongs under the Trump administration? Wasn't there supposed to be an accounting for Trump's crimes?
It's looking more and more like the Biden administration is ignoring the damage Trump did in four years.
Despite holding the majority in the House and Senate, democrats are kowtowing to to a couple of members in their own party and not holding Trump accountable for anything.
Today two senate committees released what was touted as the most comprehensive report yet on the Jan. 6 insurrection, and there wasn't one mention of Trump being involved.
Apparently both reports were watered down before they were even examined by the two committees.
Members of the committees intentionally avoided the most politicized topics to keep the investigation bipartisan.
In essence the report was not comprehensive when it came to looking at ALL of the causes of the riot, despite claims it was.
There's several more congressional committees looking into the assault on the Capitol building.
Don't be surprised if they don't mention Trump or his cronies who fomented the attack on our democracy.
The Republicans in Congress don't want the whole story of how Trump's followers did his bidding and stormed the Capitol.
Democrats made a feeble attempt at getting the Republicans to allow for an independent commission, but it was shut down with prejudice.
It's puzzling and disappointing to see the Biden administration allowing Trump's crimes to go unpunished.
