While I believe that Obama knew what happened and broke the law, I don't believe we should investigate or question previous presidents. It's a bad precedent. We don't need to litigate a previous president when power changes.

Having said that, the people under a president are fair game if probable cause points to criminal activity.

In this case, people in the FBI, DOJ and the intelligence community should be investigated.
@HoraceGreenley Does allowing him to get away with this also set a bad precedent?

@HoraceGreenley looks like there is anticipation that Trump could be investigated when he leaves office?

Laying crepe? Sure. Makes sense
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@ianR0ckwell Certainly, but action can be taken to mitigate future bad behavior.

And keep in mind no one detests Obama more than me.

@ianR0ckwell Republicans seem to be ok letting Tide Pod President instruct Americans to poison themselves.

So, why not?
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@JoeyFoxx No, it's just that settling political scores is bad for the country.

@HoraceGreenley that’s what Tide Pod President has been doing since day 1.

He likes have “acting” cabinet members because it gives him more flexibility.

@JoeyFoxx you forgot your hat
@HoraceGreenley That was Obama's mistake, to not go after Howdy Doody in the interest of "national unity." My main concern with Biden is that he will let Twitler skate for the same reason. Fortunately, the New York State AG has sealed indictments ready to be served the minute Twitler is out of office, so federal action may not even be necessary. Plus, Twitler can't pardon himself for state-level crimes.

@HoraceGreenley no conspiracy theory here brother.

Tide Pod has literally stated this.

He has also stated that he expects loyalty.

His ego is a runaway train

@LeopoldBloom Presidents can't be prosecuted for their actions prior to taking office or while in office.

As much as you want it, it won't happen.
So you reject the transcripts as false?@HoraceGreenley @HoraceGreenley
Argument by meme...kind of pathetic
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@JoeyFoxx I'm interested in results. Trump has delivered while Obama failed miserably.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@ianR0ckwell Not at all. I believe them.

@HoraceGreenley One of the reasons corruption is so rampant in high political offices is because those in in high office are never held to account for their actions. The problem is discerning between those policies that were driven by concerns of the day and those that were done out of personal vindictiveness or malfeasance. Do I think Bush should be charged with starting the Iraq war? I was against the war from its inception but it was a policy that stemmed from the issues of the day. That policy is vastly different than say Obama using the IRS to go after a writer who said he was supposedly in Obama's class in college but never met Obama and no one else in the class has any memory of him either. Somewhere in there there must be a way to investigate and castigate a past president gone rogue.

@hippyjoe1955 It is a difficult balance. I just believe that if you open Pandora's box, the result is endless score settling and the country devolves into a banana republic.
@HoraceGreenley He can be prosecuted for prior actions after he leaves office. The DOJ rule against indicting a sitting president isn't in the Constitution. It's merely department policy.

We're already a banana republic. I can guarantee that if the Republicans win a House majority in 2022, their first order of business will be to impeach Biden.

@LeopoldBloom Biden won't win the election so I am not sure how he can be impeached.

@LeopoldBloom
You forgot your hat
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@hippyjoe1955 That's true
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@HoraceGreenley TBH I sincerely doubt he will be the democrat nominee. Too much against him including his rapidly advancing senility. He should be looking for a secure retirement home not pretending he is going to be president some day. I often think that Jeff Dunham's Walter dummy would be a good stand in for Biden.
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
@hippyjoe1955 😂
You nailed it!
JoeyFoxx · 51-55, M
@HoraceGreenley better than Trump who can’t be trusted with his own words.

Everything he says needs to be edited and taken out of context to make any sense.

Tide Pod President is the master of word soul

@HoraceGreenley the sure sign of someone who is unsure of their own position in a discussion is a meme
