From Fox News:
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is receptive to the idea of prosecuting some Bush administration officials, while letting others who are accused of misdeeds leave office without prosecution, she told Chris Wallace in an interview on “FOX News Sunday.”
“I think you look at each item and see what is a violation of the law and do we even have a right to ignore it,” the California Democrat said. “And other things that are maybe time that is spent better looking to the future rather than to the past.” [Read More]
No Nancy, that’s not how it works. If there is credible evidence that laws have been broken it is Pelosi’s resposibility–duty–to prosecute. But Democrats just don’t think that way, it’s all politics all the time.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman, John Conyers (D-MI), want’s to probe whether Bush Administration officials broke the law in the run up to the Iraq war, and in counter-terrorism initiatives. But no one is investigating him for the ethics violations that he has admitted to. Rep. William Jefferson (D-LA), had $90,000 wrapped up in aluminum foil sitting in his freezer, but no worries there. Rep. Charles Rangle (D-NY) is currently under review in the Ethics Committee for using Harlem rent-controlled apartments as his office space, and various other allegations, but there’s no movement on that front either.
The “most ethical Congress in history,” is actually quite the opposite, but the Democrats and their media lap-dogs would never let you know.
