In order to "heal the soul of the nation" President Biden MUST pursue justice against the Trump WH [View all]

There must be a thorough investigation, examination, prosecution and punishment of ALL of the crimes of Trump and his entire administration, right down to the ICE agents and contractors who were “just following orders”.

Pelosi and new Senate Majority leader Warren* could resurrect the Independent Counsel law if needed, but Biden must not echo the “look forward” mistakes of the past. The criminals of the Trump administration must be punished to the fullest extent of the law to give pause to anyone contemplating such crimes in the future.

The Biden administration and Dem led Congress can walk and chew gum at the same time, passing legislation to help Americans and undo the damage of the last 4 years, and aggressively bringing the Trump criminals to justice at the same time.

*seniority be damned, Warren is the majority leader America needs and deserves.
