OK, so some of the crap that went down around warrantless wiretaps (and more) go all the way to to the top. No, not to Dick Cheney, though he's involved too, but to George W. Bush himself. So what will be done about it? Probably nothing. As Dr. Jonathan Turley says in the following clip, the lawbreaking is clear, and the top guy is implicated. So Congress is going to get
very squeamish, because the logical outcome is "guilty." And they don't feel they can put a former President in jail without a political hit.
Of course, they're forgetting about the political
boost they'd get from a huge segment of a--let's face it--increasingly dispirited Democratic electorate. If any President is ever caught doing
anything wrong again, Bush is now the magic "get out of jail free" card.
