Sher Zieve: Real Target President Bush?

The real target of the Rove, Libby et al investigations appears to be the eventual Democrat impeachment of President Bush. Democrats are still focusing on the WMD issue that has already been investigated by a Senate Committee. The included findings were that the president did not lie. One of the problems the committee encountered was that worldwide evidence showed that Jordan, Russia, Great Britain and even French intelligence supported the facts that Iraq�s Saddam Hussein did have weapons of mass destruction. However, DNC Chairman Howie Dean, who appeared on George Stephanopoulos� show on Sunday, is still bringing it up! Yep! Never confuse Howie with the facts. Heck, Democrats can and do tell us on a regular basis that truth is the lie and lies are really the truth, anyway. That is, as long as they�re spinning it.

Question: If Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald brings indictments for non-crimes against members of the Bush/Cheney Administration, will the Dems use him�again�to indict President Bush and/or VP Cheney for additional non-criminal behavior? We�ve already seen Democrat partisan D.A. Ronnie Earle getting away with using bogus documents, and non-criminal charges to indict conservative Rep. Tom DeLay.

Besides, this is the same Fitzgerald who praised the outcome of the Martha Stewart case; the case where prosecutors couldn�t legally charge her with the original (AKA underlying) indictment of �insider trading�. So, the prosecutors �got her� on �lying about it�. I still can�t figure out how she could be convicted of lying about something that she was judged not-guilty-of in the first place. But, it now appears that convictions of selected individuals, for �crimes� that aren�t crimes is the new-and-ever-burgeoning prosecutorial delight of the moment. If this Stalinesque new-and-devolved legal tactic is allowed to continue, everyone could be charged and convicted with multiple non-crimes. The ramifications are staggering. Also, the Clintons were never indicted for lapses of their respective memories. This is another case of, at least in the political arena, only conservatives being prosecuted for that �offense�.

In other words, conservative politicians will be prosecuted for being �political� but, liberal politicos will not. House minority leader Nancy Pelosi was recently found guilty of campaign fraud. Do any of you remember reading anything�anything at all about it in the mainstream press accounts? I didn't think so.

Not only do we now have an activist judicial system that has gone wild but, we also have prosecutors who have gone over the edge. Allowed to continue to charge, prosecute and convict US citizens of crimes that aren�t crimes will more quickly than anything else bring the country to its knees�and lead it to absolute destruction. Keeping the Second Amendment intact was never more important than it is now.
