4. ok, then I dont think we should actively pursue it, however
It can sit there in the corner and Bush can sweat about it for 2 years and by all means, lets have the investigations.

3. * will run back to daddy as soon as the investigations start
it will never come to an impeachment. Think back to the picture of Nixon, fleeing town as the sirens approached. This is what we will get from *, but he will not turn to wave, but to give us a final finger before fleeing to Paraguay (or Uraguay or wherever).

10. what is the status of Paraguay regarding extradition
Paraguay seems to be beyond our "official" reach, but that might be a moot point if need be. He will not be able to escape. We might allow him to flee as a trade for hard time. Then we can notify The Hague of hie whereabouts.

13. exactly!
All the Dems have to do is threaten impeachment and he will be outta there...and save us alot of time and trouble.

And it doesn't matter if it looks impossible- it's the right thing to do!

No where in the constitution is it written that you must vote party line.

The very process of pursuing impeachment will root out the rest of the evil doers.

7. Investigations, Subpoenas, Hearings, and Lots of Cameras.
That's what I want for starters.

8. We would need 16 repukes plus Joementum.
to convict and remove. And no defections from the 48 Dems and Bernie (Bernie is a solid "AYE" I'm sure).

I can think of only maybe 3 or 4 repukes that we could get...

But, if after investigations we could prove criminal actions...
