3. What is necessary to bring in a "special prosecutor?"
With Nixon, you basically had one issue that applied to him - obstruction of justice. The numbers weren't there for impeachment in the beginning but as Archibald Cox found out more (people rolling over) the numbers quickly built for impeachment.
What I really don't like in this situation is that too many Dem members of Congress don't seem to think what Busy & co. have done is a big deal or that they really need to be stopped. It amazes me that ANY Dem would vote for expanded surveillance power after seeing what these people do with that power. They don't use it to just hunt "terrorists," they use it to hunt democrats. The whole U.S. attorneys firing episode shows that they are even willing to eat their own to get at Democrats.

THEY HAVE TO BE STOPPED!
