4. attacks on Biden's AG should come with more than just an anti-Biden administration AG screed

...it's not enough to have Trump and the rest of his republican cabal attacking the Justice Dept. daily because of his efforts (even this week, prosecuting a military officer for his Jan.6 crimes), but there's this backbiting, navel-gazing, reflexively attacking of the man who hired the SC prosecuting Trump EVERYTIME it's revealed that a republican has done something wrong, like it's some kind of virtue.

Is it too much to ask that these critics spend that 'resign' energy on the actual people supporting the people criming?
