Title: Pelosi Open to Prosecution of Bush Administration Officials

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is receptive to the idea of prosecuting some Bush administration officials, while letting others who are accused of misdeeds leave office without prosecution, she told Chris Wallace in an interview on "FOX News Sunday."

"I think you look at each item and see what is a violation of the law and do we even have a right to ignore it," the California Democrat said. "And other things that are maybe time that is spent better looking to the future rather than to the past."

Rep. John Conyers, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, announced Friday he wants to set up a commission to look into whether the Bush administration broke the law by taking the nation to war against Iraq and instituting aggressive anti-terror initiatives. The Michigan Democrat called for an "independent criminal probe into whether any laws were broken in connection with these activities."

President-elect Barack Obama has not closed off the possibility of prosecutions, but hinted he does not favor them.

"I don't believe that anybody is above the law," he told ABC News a week ago. "On the other hand, I also have a belief that we need to look forward as opposed to looking backwards."

Pelosi, during the interview in her ceremonial office, said there is merit in both arguments.

"I don't think that Mr. Obama and Mr. Conyers are that far apart," she said. "There are different subjects and you treat them differently."

She hinted that the law might compel Democrats to press forth on some prosecutions, even if they are politically unpopular, adding: "That's not up to us to say that doesn't matter anymore."

"We cannot let the politicizing of, for example, the Justice Department to go unreviewed," she added. "I want to see the truth come forth."

You suppose we'll finally learn what these ephermal "crimes" are, that were committed?

I mean, surely they're going to have to list them.

I'm ho-humming about it.

We need someone to tell Pelosi that they see a wrinkle.  That will give her something else to focus on instead of trying to investigate non-violations she will be scheduling yet another appointment with her plastic surgeon.   Maybe her face will be stretched so tight her brain will freeze.

Hateful bunch of SOBs.

I seriously doubt the Dems will ever publish a list of "crimes" that people like you and me will ever be able to find.

IF that were to happen...people would the realize that the accusers were just as...if not moreso...guilty as the people they are pointing fingers at.

None that actually break any laws.  Will be a lot of "I believe" "Their intentions"  blah, blah, blah.

Though since the Botox bitch brought up the federal prosecuters...............will be intresting to see how many Barry "Ears" Hussien gives the pink slip to.

Stupid dumb botox bitch that pelosi is.

You don't need a crime.

All you need is an allegation. From there you make the suspects give sworn statements, get another party to offer another sworn statement with different details and--

VOILA!

Obstruction of Justice and Perjury convictions. And once those convictions are in place the anti-Bush narrative can be undergirded with, "Yes, but people were convicted."

Just ask Scooter Libby and Col. North.

Nancy is saying this stuff to appease the kooks in her constituency and her comrades in the House.
It is like walking through a room with gasoline on the floor while you are carrying a lit match.

Oh I don't know.  I think she believes a lot of it herself.  You can't have that much botox and surgery without it seeping into psyche.

Remember?  They were LIED TO!!!  They were DUPED!  They were just poor little innocent trusting souls who blindly followed Bush...wait...yeah I think the crap will start to pile up pretty high.  That would be entertaining at best.  At least it will keep the conservative talk show ratings up above networks and NPR.   :-)

I think these clueless Dems, (is there any other kid?), will only pursue this for one simple  reason.  Get the media off the economy, and focus on something else.  They don't want to have anything that looks bad for Fearless Leader.

If they try this, the tables will be turned on them.  It may not happen tomorrow, but the first time that the Republicans get the chance . . . look out.  At least I would hope they would do this.

If republicans had balls they wouldn't have foisted McCain on us, trashed Palin or played nice for the last 40 years.

Have you noticed the elephant on the GOP logo has no tusks?

Skinny bitch....I'll hang onto her legs until she quits twitching.

The brainless bitch is just trying to play the Lefties (including much of her own district) one more time, the last thing in the world she want is to actually have to take responsibility for any such inquirey, which would turn into a total jug****.

Agreed.  She's only saying this to appease her constituents and the far left "progressives."  The only members that are for such investigations are Reps like Conyers.  Hell, if Cynthia McKinney was still in office she'd be all over this, the kook she is.

I don't expect anything to happen with any sort of "investigations."
