    We do agree. It’s just like I said, I am not sure what mechanism he could use exactly to do this. Presidents don’t just declare people traitors and criminals and jail them. If they could, Trump would have the entire Democratic Party in the slammer. There might have been more Biden could do, I just don’t know exactly what. And you don’t seem to either.

      He waited almost two years to take any action on this because he didn’t want to look like it was a political attack but trump was going to play that card either way. If he had told them to start working from day one this wouldn’t be happening. There was plenty he could have done but he was too wrapped up in the old system of traditions to understand that things have changed.
