(97 posts)It was never a realistic possibility. No administration ever investigates a previous administration because it opens up the door to infinite political monkey shines.
Obama could have sent his justice dept after Bush and spent millions investigating everything and come up with just enough to throw a handful of low-level people in jail and nothing that would have got the real perpetrators any kind of real time in jail if any at all. All the low-end people would be promised pardons the moment an (R) came into power and would be paid off sweetly to protect the assholes at the top with their silence. Basically:a huge fucking waste of time that would do nothing but stir shit and distract from the pressing issue at that time, the fact that the economy was imploding. But in the middle of that implosion, everything should have been focused on a hopeless fool's errand going after the Bush Admin?
Then we could look forward to every Republican president to come after Obama making a point of investigating every previous Democratic admin again and again and again whether there was any reason to investigate or not.
This is why people don't take Liberals seriously. Pie-in-the-sky shit like this.
