US Politics

But on Sunday evening, Joe Biden said, "politics has infected this process and it led to a miscarriage of justice"

I wonder what Trump supporters are supposed to think ?

It is of course, unlike the charges against Trump, true, but nevertheless a very regrettable action that will be ruthlessly exploited by Trump and the sycophants he is trying to appoint.

It further diminishes the state of US politics and accelerates its democratic plunge.

It doesn’t though mean that charges could not be laid in the future. Against anyone. Including both Bidens and Trump.

If I were a potential Democratic candidate, like Gavin Newsom, I would distance myself from this as strongly as possible and undertake to make pardons for close relatives of Presidents illegal for them to issue.

The decline and fall of the Roman empire was from within.

The United States, to put it mildly, is 'as rotten as a pear'.

I agree with you but it would probably be regarded as unconstitutional for family members to be treated differently.
Looking at the list of Presidential pardons over the years is quite interesting; Ford, of course, pardoned Nixon.
Biden had previously pardoned far fewer than other Presidents (excluding those on minor cannabis charges he'd only pardoned 26 compared to Obama's 1927).

A pear of what?
