The New York Post runs a column by conservative essayist Rich Lowry with this provocative title:
Trump's enemies pursue more and more indictments - to ensure his 2024 nomination.
Musing on that very possible idea, free association brought me to another interesting hypothesis and here it is.
H₁: Perhaps both Biden and Trump are running for office in order to stay out of prison.
Explanation: Biden appears guilty of influence peddling, taking bribes, and being an unregistered agent of one or more foreign governments. At least one of which - China - is a hostile power.
Trump's call to a government official in Georgia may meet the definition of conspiracy to fix an election and/or wire fraud. His pep talk to supporters who later became rioters though he urged them not to, is at least questionable and perhaps actionable. So is his supposed inaction when a capitol riot ensued.
As long as Biden gets to appoint the Attorney General, he and son Hunter can stay out of jail. I presume whoever Trump picked to head DOJ would stop at least the federal attacks on him.
Be clear, I like Trump's policies and dislike many of Biden's actions in office. That doesn't mean I believe either man is a saint. Both are selfish narcissists who've definitely skirted the limits of the law and perhaps overstepped them on occasion. I wouldn't choose either to teach Sunday school or ethics.
