Biden: Criminal charges against Bush Admin. on the table
by Devin
Wed Sep 03, 2008 at 08:10:24 AM PDT

Looking to the future but with one eye on the past, Biden also promised that an Obama-Biden government would go through Bush administration data with "a fine-toothed comb" and pursue criminal charges if necessary.

"If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation," he said, "they will be pursued, not out of vengeance, not out of retribution - out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no one, no attorney general, no president, no one is above the law."

The man who is very likely going to be the next Vice-President of this country just said that they are going to undertake a detailed review of the last eight years of Bush Administration conduct and pursue criminal charges where they are warranted.

4. Proud to recommend! Thank you Senator Biden!
And kiss my ass Nancy Pelosi, you low-rent collaborator and a disgrace to the office of Speaker of the House.

7. I think that's the good thing about not naming names now.
Everyone calling for impeachment of higher ups seems to forget we lack the 67 votes in the Senate. The more info we give now on any of them now, the more Bush will pardon and the more they'll cover their tracks.

9. October surprise, here we come
Seriously though, why would Bush leave things like they are if he knows he might get prosecuted?

10. Bestill my heart ...
Election reform is hollow without election justice.

We have a long line of suspects in the theft of the past two Presidential elections and a growing number of state and local races. Volumes of evidence and numbers of eye-witnesses to this recent felonious history.

Election theft is treason against the foundation of the American government.

Treason is a capital offense.

Go get 'em, Joe. What a wonderful portfolio that would be for VP Biden -- overseeing the "Accountability in Governance" project.

Hang 'em high.
