Yesterday they had attorney general Merrick Garland in the hot seat being grilled regarding all the Biden family issues, corruption, etc. Once again, here is another old guy (70 years old) being put under extreme pressure, in front of cameras and he comes across as frustrated, tired, worn out and weak. You can hear the struggle in his voice.
Why in the heck don't we retire our public officials at 65 like every other business and industry? What makes these people want to continue working in hot seat, high stress positions like this at post retirement age? Why wouldn't they just go fishing or spend time with their grandkids? Continuing to work in these environments has to be very unhealthy for the individual, and we're not getting leadership from people at top of their game, which is very unfair to the tax payers.
There are plenty of valuable things we post retirement age people could be doing that adds value and improves lives in our communities. Age limits are as important as term limits.

What clips I saw he was quite flustered and kept falling back on “ongoing investigation”.
I know for a fact that the IRS will not knowingly allow a statute of limitations run out on any case. Unless you are a Democrat mucky muck
If it gets close the IRS will tell the party that they want an extension and if they say no then the iRS will make their own assessment (high) and there is no appealing..
That is the most damning part of the DOJ/IRS involvement. In my mind those years monies lead to Joey B…

Your forget Washington DC is not part of the United States and is a foreign government. They have they own rule, healthcare etc..
Same goes true for the City of London and the Vatican. Guess who owns those three land islands. Same families.

To answer your question, huger for power. Plenty on both sides of the political aisle are guilty. I often ask myself why the wealthy elite business professionals, celebrities, athletes, etc. would want the hassle of holding public office. Same reason.

I listened to a compilation of Garland NOT answering questions during the hearings. It is truly astonishing what those who are close allies (and relatives) of Biden are permitted to get away with.
