Deferring to Biden

On CNN someone said that Biden’ heart is not in impeachment. One can understand this.

Who would want to start his presidency like that?

We have only 12 days, just make sure that like Nixon, any command to launch a nuclear attack has to be confirmed by the secretary of Defence or the State. (Do we have a Defence Secretary?)

I wouldn't expect it to be, he has bigger and better things to do and it is not his way... but he did say that any action is up to Congress and the Cabinet... I would expect nothing less from the fine man he is...

Congress should and will impeach trump! ASAP

He enjoys goodwill from the traitors and their enablers? Like it or not, the beginning of his presidency is going to be all about Trump and what happened on Jan. 6, and it’s a very safe bet that what we learn will make it clear he should have been impeached. I’m not seeing the downside.

Opining on impeachment has no upside for him and his presidency, only downside.

6. Impeachment is Pelosi's gig. Biden should let Congress and DOJ do it.
