But Biden is casting himself as a moderate uniter, and releasing Trump’s returns risks looking like a vindictive investigation of his predecessor.

Not just that.

It could also prove a distraction at a time when Biden is trying to push his own legislative agenda through a narrowly divided Congress.

2. I understand Biden wants to heal the country and all,

but I think he also needs to be clear that nobody is above the law.
