(26,001 posts)LBJ decided not to "make an issue" of Team Nixon's election treason.
Main Watergate criminals -- Nixon again! -- all pardoned.
Press has never duly reported the extent of Team Reagan's Iranian treason, either.
Everything "taken off the table," as far as repercussions for Bush era-treason, by Team Obama.
And the band plays on...

(6,891 posts)are in power they never investigate these assholes. To know why one needs only know who bankrolls American politics. The republicans retain power regardless of who has the most seats in congress or resides in the White House and they have since the democrats sold out in 1985.

Not to say they still don't throw in the occasional private plane "accident" or "suicide" when they need to....

(33,688 posts)A friend was flying Norm Coleman to the same destination at the same time and was within a few miles of the Wellstone plane when it went down. She could not explain why that plane should have crashed. Weather was drizzly and unpleasant but she said it was absolutely no barrier to safe and normal flying. According to her there was absolutely no reason on gawd's green earth the Wellstone plane should have crashed.
If I hadn't heard this directly from a pilot who was in the near vicinity I might have thought it was woo. But given her presence and what she said, the idea of it being "on purpose" cannot be dismissed, IMO.

(13,685 posts)And here we are. What bugs me is how many supporters there are of the Third way here. The Clinton clan is Third Way. Bill had a chance to put the Bushies in their place and he let them slide and they thanked him by impeaching him.

In the absence of consequences why should they act any differently?
