We shouldn't pursue real investigations for real crimes because it might hurt the feelings of the people who ACTUALLY DID THE FAKE INVESTGATIONS?

AM I IN CRAZYLAND??

They DID the bullshit investigations. They DID THEM! Why is THAT a reason for us NOT to do them? That article makes me feel like I'm taking crazy pills!!!!

The author should be explaining to them why they should NOT do bullshit investigations...because they are bullshit, not explaining to us why we shouldn't pursue real investigations because we might hurt their feelings!

The author misses the fundamental difference here:

Trump, et. al. DID the crimes, therefore they have no moral standing to be offended by investigation.
Joe Biden did NOT do the crimes, and therefore DOES have moral standing to be offended by bullshit investigations.

Investigating those who did the crimes should not be dissuaded by thoughts of whose feelings will be hurt.
