Claiming to be fair and impartial doesn't mean that's the case. So some documents with classified markings showed up in President Biden's possession. He took note of it, got his staff involved in searching to find any others that might have been overlooked, got in touch with the National Archives, and did what you'd expect in this case. Trump has yet to even lift a finger, so that should be the focus of continued reporting, the contrast between the two.
There are still House Republicans who resisted responding to subpoenas, refused to cooperate and yet, they are now promising a "thorough" investigation of President Biden, demanding answers and vowing to get to the bottom of it. Integrity means President Biden will respond, but oh, isn't it tempting to just hope that he tells them hell will freeze over before he cooperates with any investigation of theirs, until they acknowledge the real world, and hold Trump accountable. That would be fair.
Until the story changes, the media, to be fair, balanced and doing their job, should either focus on the contrast between Biden and Trump, or move on to something else until there's real news to report. A President is doing as he should do, behaving in a manner that is completely ethical, in contrast to a former President, and his minions in Congress, who isn't. And if they're not willing to make that the dominant headliner, then they're not doing their job.
Every member of Congress who hasn't been cooperative in either of the DOJ investigations going on, specifically January 6th, should have headlines about their lack of cooperation appearing in the media on a daily basis, in network news and in national newscasts on cable television. Let people know exactly what they aren't doing and how hypocritical they are when it comes to the other side. Then maybe, doubtful but maybe, this political gridlock will go away. Or is that wishful thinking?
I have grown impatient with Merrick Garland, waiting for indictments for obvious crimes committed by Trump that just don't seem to materialize. Yes, we have a special counsel. How long does it take to organize what has been gathered and organized and looked at for two years now, to form a criminal case and prosecute the criminal Trump and everyone he dragged in with him, including Bannon. If we don't get justice against a conspiracy to overthrow the government, then our democracy will be over, the rule of law meaningless and our country turned against its founder's vision and values.
It's long past time. Get it done.
