care2.com — There are two ways to look at this. Either, Attorney General Nominee Eric Holder, once confirmed, will sort it out, or Obama will go the Ford/Nixon route and issue preemptive pardons "for the good of the country." ...Will Obama sic his new AG on the outgoing administration, or will he let it drift?

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to it's true principles. It is true that in the mean time we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war & long oppressions of enormous public debt? If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, & then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are the stake."Thomas Jefferson?Philadelphia, June 4, 1798

It must be known within the ranks of Washington politicians that Bush will be pardoned. I've seen both Peolsi and Conyers talk tough on Bush's crimes recently. Considering their previous stance on impeachment for the same issues, I'd have to say it is nothing more than political posturing. Just a weak attempt to regain credibility both have long since lost. Bush and his cronies will not be held accountable in this country.

After reading this article, which is a comprehensive view of the options, I have a feeling that they will all walk. I keep waiting for Bush's pardon's to come out and it looks like it won't happen. I can't imagine they would just leave office exposed. That leaves it with Obama to pardon. I will be furious If Obama pardons them. Absolutely, furious.We need public hearings. The facts need to be exposed and those who perpetrated crimes must be prosecuted. How can we move forward if we don't correct the conditions which allowed the abuse to occur?
