There would be substantial political fallout - which is appropriate. The political system provides the ultimate means of redress via throwing the bums out. That won’t happen until 2012. In the meantime a Republican Congress will be all over this with investigations.
Additionally, there would likely be a special prosecutor appointed, which would generate a whole new wave of bad press, political fall out and further perjury and obstruction of justice in resisting that investigation.
Multiple heads should roll at DOJ over this.
Thanks for your thoughts on the matter. I agree about the congressional investigations that are coming, should we win in November. The abuse of power and impeachable offenses have been staggering in this administration. It’s time to force Obama to resign.
