No democrats are blasting Biden. We get it. Stop.

President Biden doesn't need to comment.He is more concerned about getting that bridge repaired.

[janiekcarney]

Biden should focus on taking care of our Country. Not get distracted about what the Republicans are doing.

[markd.]

Statements from the president could prejudice the case or the jury pool, potentially resulting in an inability to run the case at all.

Maintaining presidential silence is the best (and only) thing Biden should do on this matter.

[carlleggett]

this democrat want the president to be quiet about the former president indictment.

Biden shouldn't comment about Trump. He doing the right thing. If Trump gets pardoned. It sends a bad message to the world.

President Biden has better things to comment on and address. Waisting what matters to Americans is valuable time. Ty

Interesting title. I’m a democrat and I think President Biden is doing exactly what he should be doing and the media should take note. Shut up already about Trump. Give the cow enough rope. Keep up the great work President Biden.

Malarkey! Biden is doing everything right.

[barbaram]

Biden needs to be busy taking care of the needs of the Country, showing us how he is better. The other Democrats do need to speak out and point to the tRump crimes.
Doesn't matter I'm Voting for Biden.

JOE BIDEN DOESN'T HAVE TO SPEAK ON DONALD JOHN TRUMP.

[junesmith]

“Keep calm, and carry on” our president obviously lives by those words…thank God!

[marlaohanlon]

Bidens silence on DT is brilliant you need to learn that yourselves he owns the airwaves everywhere even here.

[russellberwick]

The problem with promising a pardon for Trump, is that we are still unsure about what he may be hiding, which endangers the people that protects us. Are we going to believe Trump when he tells us again, that he's handed over everthing ?

[judithfox]

I think Biden is right not to talk about these indictments. Keep that space between the WH and DOJ.

[bennyblanco]

My Republican family doesn't care about Clinton many years ago now. We are concerned of today and tomorrow. Trump has to go to jail and we must witness that. It will be healthy for America and especially the guilty person or persons, ESPECIALLY! America comes before any one man especially when it comes to a crime. It is ridiculous to consider anything other than jail time equal to the crime and equal to all. You will have to consider similar cases and give him similar time.

[badpuppy]

Biden's silence is the right strategy. Let other Democrat messengers attack Trump. Biden should stay Presidential.

[supernamek]

Biden cares about kitchen table issues not will Trump be indicted or not.

[shikb]

I hate how nobody points out the fact that Donald was president for four years and therefore at any point in time could’ve had the justice department prosecute Hillary Clinton. So the fact that she wasn’t prosecutor is Donald Trump’s fault.

[seirkdy]

Biden might be an old man but he's not stupid. He's a wise man.
