The president does not prosecute, it is wrong when Biden does it, it would be wrong if Trump does it. Maybe it will excite people, but it is just talk. Anyway, Trump is, by his record of appointments, more likely to appoint an AG and FBI head that will immediately recuse themselves from anything involving Biden and instead turn their attention back on Trump.
The AG is under the Preseint.
Completely inaccurate. The president controls the justice department.
“The president does not prosecute, it is wrong when Biden does it, it would be wrong if Trump does it.”
We like to split hairs, don’t we. He is obviously referring to enforcing the law, which is part of his oath of office.
“The president does not prosecute, it is wrong when Biden does it, it would be wrong if Trump does it”
El Wrongo ... the President IS the single person charged with enforcing and executing the law. The Attorney General’s powers exist FROM the President’s powers.
The President can start, or stop an investigation. And yes, he can even elect to conduct it himself.
The Founders even discussed this at length.
U.S. Constitution
Article II
Section 1
The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America.
The Justice Department is an Article II entity completely subordinate to the President. The president is solely responsible for all executive departments, Defense, Justice, Education, etc. No Justice Department officer or employee has any independent authority, all such authority is derived from the president's authority. Merrick Garland cannot prosecute anyone Joe Biden does not want him to.
Trump's failure to vigorously prosecute Hillary Clinton would have been dereliction of duty, but for the fact that such prosecution of a political rival would be unprecedented, and would open the door abuse of the executive authority and the judicial process for political ends.
Joe Biden has no such scruples.
Trump didn't start the fire: Nasty Pelosi and the Dems did with the baseless Russiagate nonsense. Biden is only further aggravating a terrible situation. Biden is unprincipled and stupid.

That really does not matter anymore.
The Democrats have established the new rules for the game. "They always win. We always lose". And political opposition is a criminal offense to be prosecuted.
Payback needs to be a real bitch. I believe we have passed the critical point where that can result from "elections" or "laws" or "courts". I would be happy to be wrong in that assessment.
But if Trump actually said he would prosecute Biden, it is just theatrics. First, he actually must get elected. Then he must purge the entire Justice Department, the FBI, the Federal Protective Services, and the State Department. Then he can appoint replacements, get them confirmed by the Senate, and begin the prosecutions.
I am keeping my eyes on the window, looking outside for flying pigs. That is my leading indicator that any of this will happen.
You Ronlims think so small. And that is why you lose.
President Trump will create a domestic United States Domestic Terrorist Tribunal, equivalent to the existing United States Alien Terrorist Removal Court (a special Court composed of 5 Article III judges, but a Court whose power has never been exercised); and immediately refer Biden, his family, and his Administration to the United States Domestic Terrorist Tribunal Special Prosecutor for referral, the stripping of their American citizenship, and their forcible Federal removal from the United States by exile. Just as FISA has been turned inward against its own US citizens, that man whom FISA was used against as a political tool, will turn an Article III tribunal against our internal enemies.
Jeff Sessions says yes.
“it is wrong when Biden does it, it would be wrong if Trump does it..”
Turnabout is always fair play. If you don’t have the stones for this fight just sit it out and let the men in the room do it.

In point of fact, the President is the chief law enforcement officer in the country, and as a unitary executive, has every right to demand prosecution of criminal investigations. The notion this is “off limits” consitutionally is just nuts. There is no “DOJ” or “FBI” in the Constitution.
What’s wrong is doing it for strictly political reasons, in the absence of a real crime. As is the case against Trump, but would not be the case against Biden. Not because of who they are but because of what they have done (in reality, not the media echo chamber).
What if he fires the whole Justice Department and appoints only MAGA People? Maybe select Rudy G. as the head? or Eric Trump. No more Deep State only Trump people loyal to him—I mean fanatically loyal? Tucker Carlson needs a Job? Judge Jeneen P? I trust them over any RINO.
