The Biden DOJ is having to walk the fine line between pursuing the law vs derailing the Biden political agenda by making his presidency revolve around cleaning up the Trump legal messes.

Should that be the job of Biden's DOJ?

No, they're supposed to be pursuing the law and to hell with the political consequences.

But this is Washington where the first priority of everyone is to consider the political consequences rather than doing their jobs.
