They all knew. That morning of 9/11, everyone of them knew they had f**ked up huge. What's a little perjury charge compared to what would happen if the dots were all connected.
Very true. And at that moment, they were already working on the excuses in their minds. I'm sure part of that thinking was how they could pin it all on Bush.
Still, I remember shortly after when Clinton came to NYC to view the scene, Brian Killmeade of Fox and Friends had the nads to ask him if he thought he was responsible! Too bad the rest of the MSM didn't followup on that very astute question.
