Congress will not Impeach Busholini for these "few" Felonies. It would not be convenient for them to do so.

2. The House will ignore all Crimes of the White House.
No matter what crimes have been commited, Impeachment of Bush/Cheney will never occur. Why?

3. I wonder if a bank robber could use that defense/excuse?
"Well, your honor, I only robbed banks for a few weeks, then stopped. George Bush violated FISA for a few weeks and got away with it, so everyone else should be able to as well, right?"

Fat chance. :eyes:

Bush Authorized Domestic Spying Before 9/11
By Jason Leopold
t r u t h o u t | Perspective

Friday 13 January 2006

The National Security Agency advised President Bush in early 2001 that it had been eavesdropping
on Americans during the course of its work monitoring suspected terrorists and foreigners believed to
have ties to terrorist groups, according to a declassified document.

The NSA's vast data-mining activities began shortly after Bush was sworn in as president
and the document contradicts his assertion that the 9/11 attacks prompted him to take the
unprecedented step of signing a secret executive order authorizing the NSA to monitor a select number
of American citizens thought to have ties to terrorist groups.


In its "Transition 2001" report, the NSA said that the ever-changing world of global communication
means that "American communication and targeted adversary communication will coexist."

"Make no mistake, NSA can and will perform its missions consistent with the Fourth Amendment and
all applicable laws," the document says.
