or, "cooperate or you'll be thrown in PRISON!"?
So its hardly surprising that the Executive branch in not in a hurry to set the precedent of aggressively pursuing such cases unless there are real and pressing national security issues at stake: "Sauce for the goose", etc.
Mostly these Civil Service people cannot be touched. They can only, at best, be shunted aside to nothing duties in a closet somewhere with a pay raise, and even then they cannot be made to divulge information for investigations and likely no one else in the office will cooperate either. The problem is that the bureaucracy is the Permanent Democrat Establishment and the Republicans can never control it. It makes intelligence difficult because the CIA et al will not report intelligence that is politically uncorrect and will leak anything that can be construed so as to damage Republicans. As the Democrats are allied with the Islamists and anyone else who hates Republicans or America, When Republicans are in office they have to share the rule with the Enemy, even in wartime. It is as OBL had his representatives right there openly in our government.
It is sad to think of the greatness that could be accomplished if this "shadow" government of Democrats weren't sabotaging our efforts behind the scenes.
The many beauracracies that consist of those in charge of protecting us have traitors in their midst from the previous administration and care more for the Lib mindset than for America.
It is amazing when you stop and think about all GWB has accomplished despite his constant obstacles and detractors.
