3. I hope it sticks!

Welcome to DU!

:hi:

5. yay for TEXAS

Not as bad as some think.

6. Bad mistake to charge the BushCo criminals before January 20th.

Shit-for-brains will grant executive clemency and then the
laws of double jeopardy will protect them after that.

[H2O Man]

8. It depends.

The article does not indicate what type of grand jury it was, although it appears to have been other than a federal one (which I assume would have made more "news"). The president cannot pardon anyone on state charges, only on federal offenses.

[cobalt1999]

11. Yes, but what state has jurisdiction over such charges?

Especially when the crimes didn't occur in their state?

[H2O Man]

14. I haven't read

anything beyond the article linked in the OP, so I hesitate to comment on it in anything but the most general way. But it appears that the grand jury in this case returned indictments that it has the necessary jurisdiction.

A more specific source regarding the possibility of Bush administration officials being indicted, tried and convicted on state charges is Vincent Bugliosi's recent book.

9. MSM, where are you?

[HEyHEY]

24. What do you think the fucking AP is?

[spanone]

15. about fucking time n/t

[Seldona]

16. Amazing. Pardon or no, they will never be able to leave the US.

It's a good start anyway.

[malaise]

17. WTF Cheney has shares in a private prison company

I sweat that fugger is a sadist. Vanguard Group - time to dig.

[bluesmail]

18. K&R

[Usrename]

19. This is on the AP!

:wtf:

It's a grand jury indictment!

Oh, and welcome to DU boozepusher. :toast: You are the bearer of good news this time.

[cliffordu]

20. If you waterboard some people for FUN, and not to extract confession and if they

aren't soldiers is it torture???

Can't we build one that will water both of these pricks at the same time??

[Jack Rabbit]

21. Very interesting

Let's get the facts out before they're pardoned.

On the other hand, if this is an indictment handed down by the state of Texas, Bush couldn't pardon them.

[Independent_Liberal]

23. Right JR.

Lets hope it also forces Congress's hand on impeachment as well.

[sarcasmo]

22. Maybe this is why Bush has so much land in Paraguay.

[pleah]

26. K&R! Just read it this morning in my local paper!

Ahahahahahaha!

[bdamomma]

27. I hope this indictment sticks.

they deserve what's coming to them.

[Tesla]

The "Frog-march" will be the new dance craze!!
