Richard - this appears to be a much needed follow on to the late Barbara Olson's two books on the most dangerous politician ever to come onto the scene. It's truly a nightmare - an ALG, CISPES, Saul Alinsky mentored radical who has managed to groom herself to join the *apparent* mainstream and gain access to the levers of power. How I wish that those who have the applicable jurisdiction would investigate this criminal, plotting revolutionary before its too late. Do we need another HUAC?

Unfortunately HUAC lacked the power to get to the root of the matter. We probably need something more like a Truth Commission.

Truth Commissions have been used successfully in countries such as Pinochet's Chile, in order to ease the transition from dictatorship to the rule of law. The idea is to fully investigate and publicize the crimes of the outgoing regime, while guaranteeing that no one in that regime will be prosecuted.

The guarantee of immunity to high-level perpetrators is necessary, in order to prevent the perps from shutting down the investigation, throwing the commissioners in jail, and calling out the troops.

The Clintons got away with their crimes, because plenty of high-ranking Republicans were just as dirty as the Clintons, and feared exposure of their own crimes and scandals by the Clinton attack machine.

A Truth Commission would break this stalemate by removing the threat of legal action from both sides. The Commission could then go about its job of ferreting out the truth and publicizing it to the American people.
