59. Does a jury determine guilt BEFORE the trial?
Some say that votes for impeachment weren't there. That is like saying a jury should know the verdict before the trial.

By not aggressively going forward with the investigation we will never know what travesties were carried out by the Bush administration that cost many American lives, dollars and liberties and that is the biggest travesty of all. How can votes be committed either to impeach or not impeach before the investigation. The opposition Party refused to hold the Party in power accountable and that is a very bad omen for our democracy.

Frankly I wouldn't care if the investigation sank both Parties if it would have resulted in honest government for a change. The status quo of non-accountability is what should really concern us.

Americans according to these articles supported impeaching Bush if he lied about Iraq and if he wiretapped illegally.
