Who bears the ultimate responsibility for the Department of Justice?
There is only one answer … the Executive branch of government. However that merely begs the question … Who is ultimately responsible for the actions of the Executive branch of the government? Again here there is only one answer. Since the President is ultimately responsible.for the Executive branch, the President is ultimately responsible for the Department of Justice and its actions.
Likewise, if the President denies any knowledge of something that the Department of Justice is doing or has done, then realistically there are only two possibilities. Either the President out of the loop, and the Department of Justice is acting independently, or the President is lying. Which is worse?
If the President is clueless about what his Department of Justice is doing, I would think that most responsible individuals would view this as an abrogation of his presidential responsibility. Of course, it is possible that those who work at the Department of Justice are purposely keeping things from the President, but again this sort of dysfunction ultimately goes back to the President.
The other possibility is that the President is lying! If the President has repeatedly shown that he is an honest person, then this possibility is unlikely. However, if the President appears to have a penchant for not telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth to the American people, then the possibility that the President is lying goes up considerably. At this point, perhaps, we should recall the innumerable times that Joe Biden has said that he had no knowledge of and certainly no association with any of Hunter Biden’s business dealings! … Hmmm!
Now to the latest debacle in Georgia with DA Fani Willis and her probable paramour, Nathan Wade. To me the questionable actions of Fani Willis will ultimately turn out to be the lesser of two evils for Democrats. Much more important will be the meetings between the prosecution (Willis/Wade, etc.) and the White House and the Department of Justice.
For example,
The special prosecutor appointed in the Trump case, Nathan Wade, had invoices submitted to the Fulton County District Attorney’s office that revealed he asked for reimbursement for at least two meetings with the White House counsel’s office while he was involved in the election interference case. Those meetings occurred in 2022 after he was named as a special prosecutor by Ms. Willis. … Hmmm!
Also in court on 1/27/24 Alex Bernick, a prosecutor from Willis’s office, was asked: “Is there something that’s actually in writing that shows communication between the office and the White House counsel?”
His answer was that there were two written letters from the White House Counsel’s office. … Hmmm!
It is also rumored that someone from the DA’s team travelled to the White House for discussions.
To me the ultimate question is whether Joe Biden was unaware that his team was actively participating in the prosecution of his political opponent, Donald Trump … or is Joe Biden lying?
Which is true? Which is worse?
