Hurr's investigation is at least related to Biden being in office... but why don't we let politicians actually pay for their own legal troubles.
Step 1: politicians must pay for their own legal troubles
Step 2: “The Association of Totally Real Concerned Citizens” starts filing lawsuits across the country
Step 3: any non-billionaire elected to a political office is bankrupted within a year
Step 4: surprised yellow rodent face
(Bonus step 5: JB Pritzker becomes president and solves world hunger with deep dish pizza)
Edit: line breaks
This is a very fair point and it sucks.
I think it makes sense to protect members of the party who can't afford it but the biden family has more than enough to cover their own shit, they can cover the legal fees and the dnc can spend it on winning over voters
but why don’t we let politicians actually pay for their own legal troubles.
While Biden's net worth makes the issue less relevant, to make this as a universal standard would make opposition harassment by frivolous legal challenges (as with Robert Hur's investigation) an effective way not just to stress, distract, and defame any non-rich politician, but also to bankrupt them or drive them out of politics completely.
You've just described the overwhelmingly likely future of electoral politics.
Gods help us.
Better question, why didn’t the republicans who brought him up on false charges pay for them?
