“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.” — Edmund Burke
Welcome to Day 44 of ImpeachmentWatch™, your daily diary that tracks Impeachment, whether the Mainstream Media covers it or not.
Why isn’t Impeachment on Nancy Pelosi’s Table?
Turley was particularly concerned about a recent statement by law professor Cass Sunstein, an Obama adviser, that only “egregious” crimes by Bush officials should be prosecuted by an Obama administration.
“We’ve had eight years of moral relativism and the avoidance of legal process,” stated Turley. “And to start a major campaign with the suggestion that we’re going to distinguish between egregious and non-egregious crimes promises more of the same.”
“Did we just see accountability go out the window for good?” Olbermann asked Turley.
“There are very few obligations that a president has to do under the Constitution, but one of them is not to violate the laws that he is supposed to enforce,” explained Turley. “And what really concerns me about Cass Sunstein’s statement is that I don’t know what a non-egregious crime by a president or by an administration might be. I think that all crimes committed by the government, particularly the president, are egregious.“
Turley further pointed to Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s refusal to initiate impeachment proceedings against the president, saying, “I don’t understand why some Democrats can’t just simply accept a very straightforward proposition, that we’ll prosecute any crimes committed by this administration, an Obama administration, a McCain administration. Because they’re crimes. They’re all egregious.“
