    Nepotism isn’t actually illegal (though it’d be nice if it were)

    You can’t prosecute someone based on laws you feel should exist. That’s what fascists do.

    If you have issues with this sort of thing (which happens at all levels of politics and business, not just with Trump and Biden), then you should write your representative about it and advocate for new laws to be made.

    Hell, id cosign that letter, but I wouldn’t advocate for the prosecution of someone based on laws that don’t exist, not even the Trumps (though I do happily advocate the many prosecutions underway for the things they’ve done that are genuinely illegal)
