(84,711 posts)If the President and others in his Administration are involved in a "coverup" then he couldn't be trusted to appoint someone who would do the kind of job of Pecora or Church. Plus could Eric Holder be trusted to set up such a Commission? Who could we trust in Congress to appoint such a Commission when so many of the senior Senators and Congresspersons have all been in on it since "9/11 and before?" Wyden and Udall can't do this on their own. And the usual suspects outside the Government are not reliable either. We'd get something like Simpson-Bowles, "9/11 Commission" or "Star Investigation with a Special Prosecutor that would go on forever while the Spying Continues.
This is serious. And, the corruption of Govt. has gone on for so many decades now...who could be trusted? It's actually frightening to think about.
