The weird thing about this case is that he’s already been convicted on State charges, and is already serving life without parole. He isn’t getting out. So why are the Feds even moving forward with this? He’s no longer a danger to the public.
I suppose there’s a tiny chance that he gets his convictions overturned on appeal, so the Feds might want to pile their charges on top to be super sure. But it seems excessive to ask for the Death Penalty on top of it all.
I suppose if nothing else, it shows that the Justice Department is making decisions independently of the White House, as it should.

So do you think Biden didn’t understand how the federal government worked when he made this campaign pledge or do you think he knowingly lied to voters about being able to do something he couldn’t?
I think he had multiple priorities when deciding to name Merrick Garland as AG. Its obvious that Garland doesn’t have the same ideas about the Death Penalty that Biden has, yet he named him anyway. Is that breaking a campaign promise?

That is exactly my take as well. Glad to see it was already said.

He’s been known to do that a lot even by politician standards, yeah.
It’s a dog and pony show by DOJ trying to pretend like they’re not completely subservient to the Republican Mob.
