President Bush, and likely you and I, would all be dead if he did as you suggest.
When he took office;
The FBI had been infiltrated and was headed by loyalist Clintonites.
The CIA had been infiltrated by same, and was wearing legal blinders which kept it from sharing knowledge with the FBI.
All the ATTORNEY GENERALS had been replaced with Clintonites.
All goverment positions of importance were replaced with incompetent gays, airhead lesbians, and convicted drug dealers.
Democrat politicians were allowed to know that corruption, bribes, and murder were the tools of the day, and anyone using them to protect the DNC, especially the Clintons, would either be found not guilty or pardoned.
The Clintons bought out the top board members of the MSM and Hollywood producers.
They Clintons had Web Hubbell get a law enacted that states that “Neither the Clintons, nor their staff, nor friends, relatives, or family can be prosecuted or even questioned about any issues related to ETHICS during the Clinton ARKANSAS GOVERNORSHIP.
This is what prompted Bill to say, “stroke of the pen, law of the land, kinda cool”. Not what the MSM told you he said it about.
It takes time to make replacements in government positions, and it isn’t easy to oust politicians (at least legally).
You can’t just fire the entire FBI and CIA on your first day in office.
President BUSH could just have gotten on TV, the first day in office, and said, “Here’s all the TRUTH about everything the CLINTON’S did, and I’m gonna fire everyone in the government and make a new start”.
(This is what you have suggested by your reasoning)
HOW LONG DO YOU THINK HE WOULD HAVE BEEN PRESIDENT?
1.5 days?
Wow - if Clinton and his gang could get all that done during his administration (presumably during the first few years), cleaning out the FBI and CIA and Justice Dept. as well as all the attorneys that do the dirty work, Bush needed to do the same. Bush acted like a loser from the get-go. He was under siege by the DEms from day 1 - “You didn’t really win the Presidency - the SCOTUS gave it to you - so you have to share power with us.” It was sickening to watch it all and if it weren’t for 9-11, Bush would have been a one-term Prez accomplishing very little except for tax relief that he and his fellow Pubs couldn’t even make permanent when they had the power. It’s one thing to go out there and fire everyone on Day 1 and expose the Clintons for the criminals they both are. YOu’re right - he’d have been neutralized one way or the other very quickly. but, Bush was totally within his rights to do exactly what Clinton did. The State Dept. and CIA are totally out of control and have been for a long time. Long before BJC got there. Goss got chased out and Ms. Rice has found out that she has to be their cheerleader to advance an anti-freedom anti-Israel pro-Islam stability-at-all-costs agenda. Mr. Bush has done nothing to rein her in, so I am assumimg he has no problem with selling out Israel and leaving our borders wide open. Tough to defend the indefensible.
