I am truly amazed at how many FReepers believe this is good for the country. FReepers used to support the rule of law. We demanded it during the Clinton administration. Now we look the other way on illegal immigration and support the president when he stops the legal investigation of a dirty politician. What will you not accept?
The president did not stop the investigation of anyone. He took the Congressional claim seriously and sealed the documents for 45 days, until a court can decide if Congress' claim has any validity. That IS the rule of law. Jefferson's investigation certainly can wait 45 days and it sounds like he is totally nailed already on other evidence.
