      Of course Biden’s DOJ didn’t do anything to prevent this when they could have, and instead his administration just publicly blamed inflation on COVID benefits being too generous and cut those when people were struggling to pay these inflated prices, so he didn’t make the bad situation but he did make it worse

        When a crime like is newly happening, it takes rather a while for law enforcement to catch on. I think that’s what happened. I don’t think they got it in real time.

        Even when you are aware, and make the point as it happens, like Gov. Davis did in California a quarter century ago, prosecution takes time, and you can lose an election in the meantime.
