we saw it in the election. exactly. they re tired of the hyperpolarization, and they will see this as a smart move to just avoid a conflict of interest. i want to talk about some of what the republicans have already said, already jumping in is the republican senator from texas, john cornyn, and we ll pull up his tweet. he said this. he said this is an admission of a conflict of interest by doj now acknowledge the conflict of interest in the hunter biden investigation and appoint a special counsel, #no double standard. i m going to go to you, john. is this a fair observation or plainly political spin? it s political spin. it s an attempt to deflect to an issue they d rather talk about that doesn t have anything resembling the constitutional standard that is being faced that the former president tried to overturn the election. that s what we re talking about here. there was an assault on democracy by a former president
