Sure ans leftys deny any responsibility for anything done in bidens administration so
A President, any President is like any other commander, ultimately responsible for any action taken by or under his command structure, whether he knows of it, or personally directed it, or not. I've been known to have to take abuse, of responsibility for actions below my lever, it coming with the territory. But, that is different than saying White 6 just did such and such. Same with Presidents, the difference being, at my lowly level, I could possibly have been held legally responsible or financially responsible, and due to Supreme Court, this summer, the President really cannot. So is Biden or any president responsible? Yes, but that linear responsibilty (whether doing or even knowing) cut both ways, across all Presidents. So, If the theory were that Trump's FBI committed acts against the country, the Republicans or anybody else, he is ultimately responsible for failing to control departments, supposedly under his control. That is pure military linear lines of responsibility logic. Do, I think for one minute, that reflects reality? No. I do know, I have had to answer inquiry of how I one of my sub-commands could have allowed private Joe Blow do something stupid, that had negative consequences? Absolutely, and had to specify what would be done as far at training or supervision to make sure there was no repeat, as shit rolled downhill. It is much the same in any command structure. Of course, on OER's got a measure of credit for the training and operational achievements attained by those under my command, so it more than balanced out, taking the good with the bad.
