Co-conspirators Bush and leaders of congress?

[MSgt213]

If Bush broke the law and told members or leaders of congress he was going to break the law. Then shouldn't they all be indicted as co-conspirators? Of course we don't know what they told congress yet.

1. Congress does not have the power

to give the President permission to commit a crime.

Bush can tell all the people he wants...
that does not negate the fact that
HE commited the crime.

2. Yes I know, but they do have the same duty to uphold the consitution

so my point is if Bush tells congress he going to break the law. Don't they have a duty to tell him he can't do it and if he does do it then they will do everything in their power to impeach him for it? Can they just say "well thanks for the information. We don't agree and do nothing else? Doesn't upholding the constitution mean attempting to prevent violations of it?

3. Graham (D) says they didn't tell him

Former senator Bob Graham (D-Fla.), who chaired the Senate intelligence committee and is the only participant thus far to describe the meetings extensively and on the record, said in interviews Friday night and yesterday that he remembers "no discussion about expanding to include conversations of U.S. citizens or conversations that originated or ended in the United States" -- and no mention of the president's intent to bypass the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

4. Mcain is running around saying they did and Carl Levin didn't rule out

the possibilty that they only told the leaders and I think Russert said something about Nancy P saying she had reservations about it. Who knows what these lying assholes really did though.

5. And Graham is famous for his meticulous and

copious notes on everything he does. If he says he didn't remember discussions, they didn't occur because he can prove it.
