Usually, an incoming administration will drop any investigations of the outgoing administration -- out of some noblesse oblige.
However, in the case of the Obama administration, the next administration must continue and intensify investigations. We're not dealing with routine political corruption. In many cases, we're dealing with subversion -- if not treason.
Whether these people are pardoned by an outgoing President Obama or not, the width and depth of their subversion must be revealed. The next President must be a man of strong will...and he must appoint a committed and effective muckraker as Attorney General.
There needs to be a mechanism for getting a special prosecutor without the approval of Holder.
