I don’t agree with it, but in 2008 and 2009 a lot of us on the left were calling for legal sanctions against Bush & Cheney too. So this isn’t without precedent. Of course they committed crimes, but those crimes started under Clinton and an honest investigation would’ve found that out. So under the rug it went. ---

What the fuck, **Wesley Clark**? That’s the dumbest false equivalence I’ve seen in a while. And the claim that Bush & Cheney’s alleged crimes “started under Clinton” so the Obama Admin chose not to investigate is just a weird allegation. I repeat: WTF? Have I been whooshed? ---

Not to the point of death, but I’d want a sort of cosmic striking down of such people beyond mere words. That or have them jailed for similar non crimes. So you have no problem with her committing felonies and not being brought to justice for doing so. Interesting… ---

You know Clothy’s only posting in THIS thread to avoid answering uncomfortable questions about their abject moral hypocrisy regarding Trump and religion in other threads.

No, they haven’t so you can’t say that they did commit crimes. Presumption of innocence applies just as much to them as Clinton. ---

> [@Clothahump](#): > > So you have no problem with her committing felonies and not being brought to justice for doing so. Interesting… I would respond that she’s been exonerated by the courts, but in many cases, she hasn’t. Despite decades of investigations, there wasn’t even enough evidence to be worth prosecuting. But, hey, why should we need evidence? Trump himself praised Saddam Hussein’s criminal justice techniques: arrest them, torture a confession out of them and then execute them. Yeah, surely that’s what will make America great again… :smack: ---
