Holder was acting in his capacity as the President’s attorney for actions taken by the President did in office. That’s the proper role of the AG. The rape accusation was for something Trump did before he was in office. That’s not the AG’s duty to defend.
The lawsuit is for defamation not rape and is based on statements Trump made while President.
It’s not part of his duties as President, it’s a personal matter.
The easy answer is “quite a bit”. But the Trump era is not over for a few months.
While president and as the president are two different things.
Sure, but the fundamental difference here is that Holder et al, weren’t defending and/or prosecuting people based on Obama or Bush’s personal agendas and issues. I mean, it’s not unusual or even unseemly for an AG to have a political slant as far as what they prosecute or don’t. They’re a political appointee after all.
But until Trump’s administration, AGs were political appointees and allies, not personal lackeys. That’s the fundamental difference here.
Joe hasnt been the senator from Delaware since 2009, and has had a long stint as Veep, maybe you remember that?
And yes, they are incorporated there, but they dont keep their headquarters there.
In General, it aint Democrats in the pocket of Big Business, that’s Repubs.
Joe has a 85% score from the AFL/CIO, and his last rating from the ACLU was 91%. The Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) rates him quite liberal. You dont get a 85 from the AFL/CIO if you are “in the pocket of big business”.
Somehow you must have gotten ahold of some canard spread by the Bernie-Bros during the Primaries.
That’s right. Delaware has some of the most sophisticated corporate law and corporate law judges, so lots of companies incorporate in Delaware even though they have no plans to operate in Delaware.
Nah. I got it from Biden’s lifelong record in politics which has distinctly not been a very liberal one.
He is currently espousing a fairly liberal policy agenda and I hope he sticks to it. We’ll see if an old dog can learn new tricks.
Every single respected metric of “liberalness” disagrees with you.
You’re just wrong.
When it comes to the fact that every metric and expert disagrees with you, maybe you might rethink your position.AFL/CIO, ACLU, Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) and the
American Conservative Union (ACU) all rank Biden as fairly liberal.
You don’t even know what their metrics are.
The ACLU doesn’t rank people on more or less liberal.
AFL/CIO and ACU and ADA have distinct legislative agendas. It would be madness for them to rank Biden any other way.
Hell, lots of AFL/CIO members voted for Trump. No wonder they consider Biden a “liberal”.
Meanwhile you just refuse to look at Biden’s record yourself.
Read this and tell us about how solid a liberal Biden has been:
They do, one ranks How Liberal, the other How Conservative. In both cases, Biden comes up liberal.
That is a piece of crap hit piece written by a bernie-Bro that has been debunked.
I was going to weigh in, but how can I hope to post anything as wise and well-thought-out as this?
I’ll defer … while I go mix myself a lime/rum/dash of maple syrup potion.
I thought about that and put as much effort in to it as the person I responded to.
Barr has been unable to speak clearly because he’s constantly tonguing Trump’s fartbox.
As is the duty of the AG.
No disrespect meant, but that’s a great user avatar / post combo you got there Lobohan .
I can see you’re a person of class and distinction.
