The liberal media are nervous about this concept of accountability for liberal politicians, I mean, where would that end? Surely Hillary is not the only one who is worthy of investigation?
How would their bias look during and after these trials?
It would look like what it is — aiding and abetting a criminal conspiracy.
To his (rare) credit, 0bama did not pursue the matter very far, and eventually granted immunity to those potentially involved. Nevertheless, in 2008, today's thoroughly outraged press thought it was a great idea.
And as recently as December of last year, the tiresomely predictable Guardian was in high dudgeon that he'd abandoned his promise to prosecute Bush. Oddly, The Guardian may have been the first to accuse Trump of "Banana Republic"anism. They were on the journalistic ramparts guarding "the political process" as early as late last night.
A banana republic is not defined by the investigation and possible jailing of defeated political opponents as much as it is by the inability to prosecute and convict those guilty of political corruption. From Whitewater, to cattle futures, to the Travel Office firings and persecution, to the disappeareance and reappearance of the Rose Law Firm records, to the transfer of missile technology to the Chinese, to the Marc Rich pardon, to favoritism shown by Hillary as Secretary of State to donors to the Clinton Foundation, to the approval of the sale of US uranium assets to a clandestine donor to the Clinton foundation, to outrageous payments to Bill for speeches by folks with business before the Department of State, to Haitian contracts being let to friends and relatives, to the bleach bitting of records under subpoena by Congress and of obvious interest to the FBI, to the amassing of a quarter of a billion dollar fortune while Hillary was a Senator and the Secretary of State, the Clintons exemplify political corruption. How could there NOT be a special prosecutor to examine possible obstruction of justice, records act violations and influenc peddling? And to all of this we must add: What did Hillary know and when did she know it?
