Biden should let the people judge Trump in November, rather than try to knock out his opponent in court
Even though the Supreme Court has yet to issue its ruling on presidential immunity (expect it on Monday morning), Donald Trump may no longer need it to win.
On Friday, the justices’ decision in Fischer v. United States squashed much of the Justice Department’s investigation into the president trump involvement with the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol.
Even if the court on Monday holds presidents fully liable to federal prosecution after leaving office, Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland would be wise to shut down the special counsel investigation, blame its failures on the Supreme Court, and leave the question of President Trump’s responsibility up to the people in November.
