13. I cannot. It takes courage which the GOP has none.

But prosecuting someone for criminality and attempting to put them in jail is different from asking a question that makes headlines. Don't get me wrong. I watched every minute the hearings and I cheered Baker for asking that question. Then the reality of Gerald Ford saying he would just let bygones be bygones made me realize at that moment that people at the top of federal power could get away with any crime if it was framed right. Later with the ignored warnings about Bin Laden which resulted in Americans being incinerated, outing a CIA Agent and sending American soldiers to die for a lie proved to me I was right. At lot of people in this country feel as I do but also feel powerless to do anything about it. I could not create a lie that results in people being murdered or mastermind a break in without going to jail. Governors go to jail quite often. In the past one has gone to jail in my State. Why is a President than anyone else when it comes to crime. Especially murder.
