Can't have that

Boston Globe editorial: "A father’s love for his son doesn’t require dissing the Justice Department - The accusations in Biden’s presidential pardon play right into Trump’s political narrative."
At a time when President-elect Donald Trump has done everything in his power to undermine the nation’s criminal justice system — to cast it as overly politicized, in large part because he too was the subject of a federal prosecution — did Joe Biden have to second that notion?
Yes, that's the real crime here: Biden playing into the idea the Department of Justice is politicized and engaging in lawfare for political gain.  Or - hear me out here - maybe there's some truth to it as evidenced by a former President having his underwear drawer raided at Mar-a-Lago?

Trust in the FBI is at a century-low level.  Joe Biden's statement didn't do that; his DOJ did.

You're not kidding Eric, I'm retiring in three weeks and I can't wait to get out. It's not a spur of the moment decision, I've been planning this for the last three years. Used to be all anybody cared about was the mission and doing the right thing, the last ten years it's all about the optics. Doing the right thing has taken a back seat how things will play in media.
