Question: Would the GOP be going after a prior administration for blatant

crimes committed while they were in office?

1. ARE YOU SHITTING ME?

Of course I guess it would depend on whether said prior administration was R or D.

2. They went after Clinton when he was in office.

11. But there was a secondary purpose for it. They didn't want Gore to be elected

that is all that the whole impeachment thing was about, ensuring a Repuke got elected after Clinton.

3. Blatant crimes? You mean like misuse of cigars?

[Cha]

4. Think if mccain palin got in...would they go

after the dick and bush? No.

Would they go after a Dem Prez while he's in office? Yes.

5. If and only if it was a Democrat

that is all.

[Fresh_Start]

9. I agree, if it was a Democratic administration

because tainting the Democratic brand is always good for the GOP

[TwilightZone]

6. Nope. No money in it.

7. Interesting question...

Why do you ask?

[Laelth]

8. Yes. No question. It's a shame we're not doing the same. n/t

10. Unlikely, unless it benefitted them politically or financially.

If it would harm them or make trouble for them in getting their agenda passed, they would drop the idea like a hot potato. Republican politics is really nothing more than a front for making sure friends of Republican politicians and the firms they own or work for make a lot of money. The GOP electorate may be concerned about certain values but the politicians who represent them dont care about those at all.

12. If it's an opposition party, it should be obvious that today's Republican party

would use the flimsiest excuse to hound them out of power.

It should also be remembered that Corporations benefit from Republican policies, so as long as the media is Corporate-owned, the Republican party has an ally in their efforts.

Short answer to the OP's question? DUH!

[WCGreen]

13. I put it up as a sarcasm....

Sorry I didn't put the little sacasm thingy...

[MadMaddie]

14. A certain non-security related Blow Job seems to fit the bill!!

[Proud Liberal Dem]

15. Well they kind of did with Clinton after he left office

Remember how they investigated Clinton staffers' supposed vandalism of the White House, using their RW surrogates (along with their mouthpieces in the MSM) to insinuate that the White House had been purposely and criminally vandalized while Ari, et. al pretended to be oh so "above" the situation and refusing to provide any details about what exactly had been done to the WH? According to the GAO, it all turned out to be a big hoax, of course-just like 99.99999999999% of everything they accused, implicated, or investigated Clintons for.

16. Probably not

If it was another Republican one, certainly not.

And if it was a Democratic one, they would ignore all reality and make up a whole set of pretend crimes to go after them on instead.
