This is a common refrain among GOP attacks on Biden. It's also a fear expressed by Dems should Trump be reelected.

POLL: Weaponizing the Department of Justice
- Thread starter What Would Jesus Do?
- Start date
Apologies for the "WIKK weaponized" instead of "WILL weaponize" in the 3rd option. I tried to edit it but was too late.
I think this board is overwhelmingly leftwing and that you already know what the results will be.
When the Fulton county prosecutor is meeting with the WH, does that fall out of scope?
We already know how the FBI falsified evidence to obtain a FISC warrant on Trump’s campaign the first time around.
Are we to believe they would only falsify evidence once to ‘save democracy’?

You're wrong on your first observation, but it suits you to claim that.
As for results, you might be right - because many cons here are afraid to vote in my political polls.
I've never understood why cons are afraid to vote. Sure, they could be called out for a vote, but they are still shielded behind their avatar, so what's the big deal?
Do you think elections should be anonymous, or should each persons vote be publicly displayed?
Why, or why not?
This sort of thing transcends categories of political affiliation. I don’t think you have to know the specifics of any such situation to know that a human being is going to attempt to use available means to achieve desired results. A political system is nothing more than a scheme or an algorithm; the checks and balances are incomplete, imperfect—we’re not talking about the laws of physics here.
I thought is was a broadcast network like WKRP or something. 🤣
When the DoJ and Attorney General go after members of the POTUS's party with equal fervor, then I'll think it's not being weaponized. Why should we need a special prosecutor for Hunter Biden? Why should we need a special prosecutor for Trump after he left office?
When the DoJ no longer cares about the appearance of conflict of interest, that's a major problem. When the DoJ constantly uses the excuse of "prosecutor discretion" to execute policy rather than enforce laws, that's a problem. When the DoJ consistently defends government instead of defending citizens' Constitutional rights, that's a problem.

I've never seen a need to change the secret ballot approach in public elections. If you have an argument against it, I'd be interested to hear it.
Votes in Congress, on the other hand, should always be recorded, in my opinion. Voters deserve to know how their reps are actually representing them.
Or maybe it's the Wikileaks or Wikipedia station. Or perhaps the John Wick station.
also in thast option, who will he weaponize it against? if D's that's my vote.
Well crap. I thought I has successfully edited that option to read "Biden and Biden/Dem supporters."
I assumed no one would be confused by WIKK, but if I had noticed that, I would have canceled the whole poll and started over.
I would do that now (not sure if I can) except that would be disrespectful to those who have made thoughtful comments.
Why? If someone commits a crime, prosecute them. It shouldn't matter if they are an ex-POTUS, POTUS, or family member of the POTUS.
If Merrick Garland led a prosecution of Trump or Hunter Biden the right would hit the roof.
So he appoints special counsel to try to minimize the appearance of a conflict…and the right thinks it’s a terrible thing.
They can’t win.
all good. even jesus has a hard time with the polling function sometimes.
Of course. It's impossible to simply do the correct thing and enforce laws equally.
Trump tells us what he plans to do. Of course he will weaponize it. He is insane.
No. Trump committed a bunch of crimes, thus having 91 felony indictments. Biden didn't make him do those things.
Trump is def a revenge guy. There is no doubt he will do everything in his power to get back at those he feels crossed him.
What exactly has Biden done? Be specific and post a link or two.
You're damned right. trump should be in jail without bond, f**king criminal. Other than that, it appears you've been reading your russian disinformation again.
biden should send seal team 6 to take out all the high ranking maga scum.
