Thanks Dave! Thanks for the kind words. I’m very aware that millions of Americans don’t consider themselves Republicans or Democrats (I’m one of them.) However, I meant that the law should be sacred to all Americans, and additionally, all Republicans, and Democrats i.e. everyone. I see how you interpreted it differently, though, and I agree with your larger point.

Good article. I personally think we should push for a special prosecutor, but at least a truth commission would be something (and the GOP’s approval rating would finally hit single digits).

One request: please don’t use the phrase “all Americans, Republicans and Democrats.” Many Americans are neither. The most painful use of this phrase in recent memory was in RFK Jr’s foreword to Greg Palast’s “Steal back your vote”, where he wrote that election integrity is important to all Americans, whether Republican or Democrat. He wrote that, even though the 2004 Ohio recount that uncovered rampant election tampering was paid for and conducted by Greens and Libertarians, something that Palast surely knows. And there are a lot of folks in no party at all.

This’ll turn into the Iran-Contra hearings or the Watergate non-issue: a big show of sound and fury that ultimately creates a lot of confusion, misdirection, obfuscation and the buck being passed down to the lowest rung possible.
A cover up.
