What ever is now done to Bush will provide a template for political payback against future administrations.
Administrations who follow the law, and not bend the law as Yoo encourged the Bush Administration to do with Dick Cheney's encouragement and blessings - said Administration has nothing to worry about and only respect to gain.
As an aside, I believe Pres Obama is trying to thread a needle with blunt thread. What I mean by that is I believe he has tacitly given his ok for Holder to pursue alleged criminal activities while maintaining a public stance opposing it, thus providing some cover for the idea Ardy has mentioned, which would deflect from him and his agenda while doing what the DOJ is mandated to do.
I agree.
The precedent already is established. Nixon and his associates were investigated, tried, and those who were convicted sent to prison (minus a few who died before sentencing). That round of accountability actually served the nation well.
