yah...that’s about what I figured.
Thomas Jefferson warned us about guys like Premier Hussein.
In his notes on the State of Virginia, Jefferson wrote: “The time to guard against corruption and tyranny is before they shall have gotten hold of us. It is better to keep the wolf out of the fold than to trust to drawing his teeth and talons after he shall have entered.”
By that it is clear we have a real mess on our hands because the wolf and all of his friends are already here, and we will be stuck trying to pull teeth and talons until we can vote them out of office.
Its also clear that the next President is going to be appointing quite a few Special Prosecutors once he takes office....lets hope it isn’t too late...
The normal practice -- a misbegotten political "courtesy", I suppose -- is for an incoming administration to sweep all the dirt left by the previous one under the carpet.
For example, GWB upon replacing the blatently corrupt Clinton administration.
In this regard, though, the Obama administration is clearly, well, different. The corruption has been so deep, so damaging, so subversive(!), that it simply must be exposed...and prosecuted!
Even if the principles have been pardoned, the public needs to know the gross depths these people plumbed. It should stand as a warning -- and object example -- to any future administration: Don't ever go there again.
Note also that, while the President has unlimited pardon powers, it extends only to federal laws. I've no doubt that multiple state laws were broken, as well.
If Eric Holder ends up in Florence (AZ), instead of Leavenworth (KS), I'll have no objection.
The next President bears a heavy duty. And his (her) willingness to undertake prosecution of the previous administration should be a prominent part of our primary selection.
