Well screw that Billy Boy. Obama and Biden are both guilty as sin and you know it. Your statement seems both presumptuous and premature.
I can only ask , no not ask, demand, "What did they know and when did they know it?" If they knew what their underlings and agents were doing and those actions were criminal, why did they tolerate it and not stop it and immediately fire them, if not refer them for prosecution? Are we supposed to believe that both Obama and Biden were oblivious to what was going on around them?
I understand that any attempt to prosecute either of them will be seen as political by many, regardless of what ever evidence is presented. But should they be really be exempt from investigation and prosecution simply because of their status as former office holders? If they have guilt to bear then let the evidence be examined and presented to the public. Then and only then let the President decide to pardon them as Ford did Nixon to prevent an even deeper crisis. But he did so only after Nixon's guilt was clear for ALL to see. So let it be with Obama and Biden.
Indeed there are just as many who would see it as political to not investigate and preclude charges, particularly if there is strong evidence that they attempted to disrupt that longest of American political traditions, the peaceful transition of power between administrations, no matter how bitter the political disagreements. In fact John Adams was so disturbed and angry after the tumultuous election of 1800 that he refused to attend Jefferson's inauguration and simply packed his bags and started on the road back to Massachusetts.
This tradition has been a sacred trust 9f the American system and something free governments around the world have long aspired to emulate. It's violation should be regarded as among the highest orders of treason against the republic.
So then I can understand if not grudgingly agree to pardons but only after their actions have been examined by the Dept. of Justice AND the public. If they are indeed guilty of crimes let them be stripped of all pensions and protections and let them live out their lives in shame, ignominity and obscurity.
