In regards to this article, it seems to me that keeping an indictment sealed is perfectly appropriate, in order to ensure a fair jury trial. Myself, I would not want to be a juror in this trial had it come before the election. Every news person in the country would be after me and my family, trying to ferret out some deep conspiratorial connection with the Bush administration. Democrats would be looking for ways to intimidate me and no doubt there would be threats.
Now that the election is over, the media will pretty much ignore this story and there is actually a chance at a conviction, without a tainted jury.
Of course, since I am a known Bush supporter my opinion won't carry much weight with those who fault Bush for not arresting all Clintonistas last Inauguration Day.
=== those who fault Bush for not arresting all Clintonistas last Inauguration Day
Who called for that?
There would have been no reason for such a move (wishful or otherwise) had the Evil and clearly treasonous Clinton rightfully been impeached or Hillary indicted.
Of course, didn't help that folks like former President Bush and Bob Dole stepped up during impeachment to send a message that actual removal of the Mad Bomber of Sudan would sully the decorum of the semen-stained Oval Office.
(And ruin chances for them to work together in the future, natch ... where Bush is able to make even more points with the far left by sending the Evil Clinton on official junkets with his Dad.)
Look ... I bear no ill will toward you or any of the others who defend Bush out of some purely personal and faithbased fiction that he is a "conservative" (who's yet to veto a single line of an appropriations bill) or a Christian (who uses Scripture to rationalize the use of excess manufacture Potential People for research and respects his mother's and his wife's pro-choice views).
In fact, it's because I have do have some respect for you and Kattracks, et al., that I cringe at the way you rationalize being bitchslapped by this so-called "strict Constitutionalist" who couldn't punch his way out of a paper bag with his political strategies.
Do we save our dirtiest tactics only for fellow Republicans? If we can rationalize abandoning the rule of law or just war in order to combat terrorists "on their own terms," what stops us from playing hardball with "Clintonistas" during a hotly contested election year?
How long will you go on helping to tack down the red carpet on which the Dems will stroll to the White House in four years?
