You want to stop this? Well, the way to do it is not to give next criminal cabal the green light and the all clear that no matter what they do there will be no consequences and in fact they will be covered for to the best and fullest degree possible.
You talk of changing principles but by what possible means you support a system devoid of accountability and no incentive but to act lawlessly, evade and foil oversight, to prosecute whistleblowers, and to cover up, deflect, and evade justice no matter from what corner to make sure that your favorite politicians can also act with lawless iimperiouness no matter how you claim fear of conviction on some pretense as you claim which I see as laughable no Obama would not be convicted for the Senate releasing their report and to claim such is dishonest fear mongering and if it isn't we have deeper problems as a country than the fate of one man and of course we do.
You and Obama's lame excuses don't fly with me, your attitude is why we are a nation of conspiracy cover up artists that are renditioning, murdering, torturers and you folks are inviting the wicked to step up their game, push the envelope, and see what new lows they can sink us two at their soonest convenience and that in the highest likelihood we are doing our part for the cause, wink...wink.
If it takes some cycles of recriminations to drain the Swamp and return to equality under the law then so be it. I see the damage of cycle after cycle of looking the other way, covering up, and fake "truth and reconciliation" where ever worse criminality and disregard for civil liberties and the truth are greatly multiplied through the land.
What you see is now the fruit of your way of thinking but wait until the bitter harvest from the next cycle and the one after that and the one after that.
"We tortured some folks". Yes, you did because you choose to side with, cover for, rationalize, and cannonize the torturers and as such joined them even to the point of spying on and interfering with Congress's oversight making every bit a mockery of the rule of law as the ones before.
