Trump DOJ Lawyer Floats 'Criminal Charges' for Jill Biden



Trump DOJ Lawyer Floats ‘Criminal Charges’ for Jill Biden
🙄🙄🙄
The one-time Fox News contributor has added to the MAGA pile-on against Joe Biden and his family.

Published May 20 2025 5:26AM EDT


A former Fox News contributor turned Trump administration Department of Justice lawyer has suggested Joe Biden’s wife could be criminally charged for “elder abuse.”

The former president announced a diagnosis of a particularly “aggressive” prostate cancer on Sunday. Within hours, the MAGA world was peddling the notion that the 82-year-old had been sick for some time, and that his true condition had been covered up by his close circle, including his wife, Jill.


This idea was given credence after several doctors spoke out, with one saying that the elderly politician may have had the disease for up to a decade.

Leo Terrell, senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights, has since suggested that Jill Biden could be charged for her part in this so-called cover-up.

The former Fox News contributor, who has a sometimes questionable presence on X despite his government position, shared a post from a right-wing account that claimed “she [Jill Biden] knew about President Biden’s health problems. But still wanted him to run for President. Evil.”

They harassed Hunter Biden for years for things Trump and his kids do everyday and now they want to go after the former first lady, after the former president was just diagnosed with aggressive cancer?

Wow: literally no end to how low Republicans will stoop.

Democratic challengers in the 2026 mid-terms should emphasize Republicans cut YOUR social security and Medicaid, yet waste millions on non-scandals.

"Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My house will be called a house of prayer,’[a] but you are making it ‘a den of robbers."

💩 and they were just selling doves

It truly baffles me how those who claim to follow the "good book", seemingly have never cracked it open.

When the end comes for these sacks of shit, they are counting on liberals to 'forgive and forget'; they are depending on getting the same hall pass that Reagan got, that W. got and that Trump has received thus far (dodging all legal responsiility and incarerations for crimes he is actually CONVICTED OF)...

No more.

The second Trump is no longer in office or clinging to power illegally, I want him in leg irons and a jumpsuit being frog-marched out of whatever hole he hides in. I want his staff and cronies arrested and tried. And when they are found guilty, I want them to rot in prison and die there.

You can google them yourselves - it will be easy.

This form of prostate cancer as they have said is very aggressive.
That means it went from 0-60 in a very short period of time - making it significantly harder to detect.

On top of that:
Some years ago (2019?), Joe had been previously treated for BPH - an enlarged prostate - that is apparently unrelated to prostate cancer. But the symptoms can be very similar which probably delayed him from getting further medical attention/screening because they could chalk up the symptoms to BPH - not a new, aggressive prostate cancer.
Joe was pretty unlucky to have this cancer follow BPH or they might have caught it sooner.

I'm so fed up with them lying about Joe and his family.

People are entitled to their opinions about the job he did or his politics.
But I looked at his 20+ years of tax returns - many of them audited by the IRS. He didn't line his pockets while doing his public duty in the Senate or White House like most of them did. He's the most honest politician that way I've encountered in my ~70 years.

If you let crap like this happen to good people, good people won't serve. So this is about fighting for what is good and right for the country.

This man should be honored for his dedicated, honest service to his country and as a result, much of the world - even if one disagreed with his politics. He served with integrity and honor - putting his country first.

This was a devastating diagnosis - spread to his bones. They've got to continue to lie about him and piss on him and his family while he's on his way out? Disgusting. The people who do that are scum.

said that Dr. Jill Biden should have diagnosed the cancer earlier because she's a doctor, thus exposing the genetic stupidity that runs in the Trump family. Apparently, Junior isn't aware of the vast array of doctorate degrees.

You want to talk elder abuse? Look at what Trump's sycophants, toadies and enablers are doing to him. Not to mention what he himself is doing to us. That's where the DOJ lawyer should be floating criminal charges. You know, against an actual criminal. What a concept.
