Why Democrats Are Going With Joe Biden

It’s not about Joe Biden, it’s about why Joe Biden?

For example, as the clamor about Robert Hur fades away, now never to be heard again, does anyone still wonder why Attorney General Merrick Garland was so desperate to prevent Americans from witnessing the recording of the president’s logorrheic, hours-long interview by the special counsel? The one that caused Hur to conclude that the president — notwithstanding his decades of willful Espionage Act violations — was too mentally deteriorated to indict? A conclusion that can only mean that he was too incapacitated to assist in his defense against criminal charges, or that the prosecutor feared a jury would think it an act of Eighth Amendment-level cruelty to subject so dissipated a man to the rigors of a felony indictment and trial?
