When you say that Blagojevich was a liability that explains all the examples you gave. It was not justice that held those people accountable. It was politics. Nixon resigned. Plame was outed by her own husband and by Richard Armitage, who was never held legally accountable; instead, Scooter Libby landed in jail for being just as “confused” as the media entities who went scot free. Whitewater was a very bad joke. Blago was a joke; one well-placed person with an agenda was able to screw that totally up, and the investigation was hindered by a desire to protect Obama.
The stuff you’re giving as examples all prove the opposite thing: that politics is the only thing ruling in this country right now, not justice.
Pilate said to Jesus, “What is truth?” He had seen the politics and had been told that if he had one more dust-up with the Jews he would be removed from the “Friends of Caesar” Club - removal by mandatory suicide. He knew he had to condemn an innocent Man to death or die himself - because politics, not truth, is the way of the world.
All the examples you cited make that very case. The innocent sit in jail and the guilty go free - all depending on who your friends are and how useful you are to them at the time.
But I say if we don’t have truthfulness in our dealings with each other we have nothing. What is truth? Critical.
I read somewhere that Pontius Pilate actually did commit suicide, in the end.

You wouldn’t be satisfied with an Obama resignation like Nixon’s? You wouldn’t be satisfied with an Obama criminal conviction, impeachment and removal like Blagojevich’s? You wouldn’t be satisfied with an Obama criminal conviction and commutation of his sentence like Scooter Libby? You wouldn’t be satisfied with multiple Obama criminal convictions and the need for a pardon by President Biden?
I believe that Pontius Pilate and Jesus of Nazereth were a few years before the Grand Jury era. But can you tell me of the resolution of any major national political scandal that didn’t involve a Grand Jury investigation?
It seems to me that you aren’t the least bit interested in a real resolution of the Obama eligibility issue, you just like to whine about it and resolving it in a criminal court of law would deprive you of your ability to continue to whine.
