"You can't prosecute current or former legislators for making bad choices if they operated within legal frameworks" You need to pay attention to "ifs" I don't think anyone here is for NOT prosecuting folks who did something illegal. And who's relying on a TV show? It's not like we're deciding anything. We're just chatting. When we get to be on congressional investigative committees we'll act like it- but right now, right here, this is a chat group where friends chat about things- mostly politics, but not only politics. But gee. thank you for the daily lecture

<<<It's stunning how so many have come to the conclusion that nothing illegal took place when no investigation has ever been conducted. Are we going to close the book on the transfer of trillions of taxpayer dollars, by relying on the investigative talent of a 60 minutes television show producer?>>> Sounds like you want justice. You want to bring to justice all those that have committed crimes. We should take a look at Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac and also at possible wrong doing of people who took us to war on faulty intelligence and all the no bid defence related contracts that cost trillions in spending. The process of looking into illegal activity will be stimulative. It will keep an army of lawyers busy for the next 10 years. But I don't know how much good it will do us to get out of this economic mess that the Bush administration and their supporters have gotten us into.
