1. I bet someone will be caught at something
a few years later. And Obama will win, and no pardon or whatever.

6. None. There is no justice in America.
And the "new democrats" (read "Republican Red Shirts") are working tirelessly to ensure it stays that way.

18. get caught with part of a joint in your car and spend 25 years in maximum security
steal trillions, commit treason, kill tens, if not hundreds, of thousands get airports named after you.

Yep, we have justice alright.

Wake up. Yours is a bizarre blindness.

9. None. Justice, like impeachment, would be a "distraction".
Politicians have much more important things to do that they don't want to be "distracted" from, like fundraising.

14. I put 1 to 10...
Edited on Tue Jul-08-08 01:30 PM by LeftishBrit
but I don't think they'll include anyone at the really top levels. Probably just a few 'fall guys' in comparatively junior positions.

15. I would say that somewhere around 75% of them will be convicted
for various crimes from war crimes to treason before this is all said and done.

19. Remember 138 Reagan administration officials had been convicted, indicted, investigated
"By the end of his term, 138 Reagan administration officials had been convicted, had been indicted, or had been the subject of official investigations for official misconduct and/or criminal violations." ~ Haynes Johnson
