House Speaker Pelosi was on FoxNewsSunday and she had some interesting comments to make.
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."
She hinted that the law might compel Democrats to press forth on some prosecutions, even if they are politically unpopular, adding: "That's not up to us to say that doesn't matter anymore."
"We cannot let the politicizing of, for example, the Justice Department to go unreviewed," she added. "I want to see the truth come forth."
A look at the bullshit done by Alberto and the Justice Department is a good start, but you'd think that those war crimes and other matters would be looked into.
I think that those war crimes are one of the other matters that Pelosi is referring to when she says " ...looking to the future rather than to the past." Pelosi and the rest of our House and Senate would still rather have major crime by Bush and his top thugs swept under the carpet. Guess that they hit to close for Pelosi's comfort.
In recent weeks the passion of the public for holding the Bush administration accountable has taken the party by surprise, as the question on Obama's Change.gov website which had the most votes as a priority involved the appointment of a special prosecutor. DKos
