It cannot be done as it has been done in the past.
The people, and our democracy, demand that the facts and the truth be brought forward.
That does not mean that Joe Biden must be personally involved in the investigation. He could state that the Justice Department is handling it.
Naturally, Republicans will scream to high heaven. But, what's new?
In my opinion, there should be a "bi-partisan" Commission appointed to get to the truth. They would work with the FBI to ascertain the facts. There should be no public statements until their work is completed.
The point is that these criminals that have brought our country to its knees, spread fear and anxiety, as they attacked the foundations of our Constitution, must be held accountable. They cannot be permitted to escape justice.
The people deserve to know the truth and the Democratic Party cannot permit it to pass in the name of "bringing the nation together". That is not acceptable.

(111,095 posts)...then they should be put under criminal investigation. They should all appear before a jury trial. Not any three-judges court panels - but a full 12-man jury. Everybody deserves a fair hearing.
