Only if it’s a Republican.
Then it merits the death penalty.
There is a double standard, isn’t there?!
“Only if it’s a Republican.
Then it merits the death penalty.”
The George W. Bush justice department prosecuted Ken Lay and other Enron executives. The same department prosecuted Jack Abramoff. it also named a special prosecutor to persecute Scooter Libby.
When the Democrats are in power, there is no criminal prosecution of their own politicians. We need only look at Corzine and Menendez as evidence not to mention tax cheats Charlie Rangels and Timothy Geithner.
However, we must remember that the George H. W. Bush justice department did fail to criminally prosecute Senator john McCain and the rest of the Keating 5 for influence peddling and likely accepting bribes. So Republicans don’t always go after their own. Given the disgrace McCain has become we could only wish he had been tried, convicted and sent to prison in the early 1990’s as he should have been.
