Let me save you some time and give you the excuses you'll likely hear up front, as all of them have already been used when it came to not going after Bush and Company:

"It's untested legal theory"

"It's just too high a hill to climb"

"It will open our president to future prosecution" (Seems like the right is doing that right now)

"We don't need to be the ones to break tradition" (The "tradition" of not going after previous administrations)

"It will needlessly divide the country"

"Voters want us to look ahead, not behind"

"If we're seen as being too vengeful it will turn off moderate and independent voters"
