"Follow the evidence wherever it leads" - IMPEACHMENT |
|
Edited on Mon Jan-16-06 04:17 PM by BushOut06
From today's speech (transcript is available at the Drudge Report):
A special counsel should immediately be appointed by the Attorney General to remedy the obvious conflict of interest that prevents him from investigating what many believe are serious violations of law by the President. We have had a fresh demonstration of how an independent investigation by a special counsel with integrity can rebuild confidence in our system of justice. Patrick Fitzgerald has, by all accounts, shown neither fear nor favor in pursuing allegations that the Executive Branch has violated other laws.
Republican as well as Democratic members of Congress should support the bipartisan call of the Liberty Coalition for the appointment of a special counsel to pursue the criminal issues raised by warrantless wiretapping of Americans by the President.
Second, new whistleblower protections should immediately be established for members of the Executive Branch who report evidence of wrongdoing -- especially where it involves the abuse of Executive Branch authority in the sensitive areas of national security.
Third, both Houses of Congress should hold comprehensive-and not just superficial-hearings into these serious allegations of criminal behavior on the part of the President. And, they should follow the evidence wherever it leads.

4. Thanks - if there were ever any doubt about the criminality of Bush |

Gore's speech should have destroyed any doubt that existed. Of course, the neocons will spin this with the usual "Gore is anti-American" crap, but most Americans can see through that. Gore's speech was exactly what this country needs, and at the right time!

Sorry, just want to make sure everyone realizes what Gore was saying - without actually saying it: Bush needs to be impeached!
