Yeah, but knowing Obama, he'd be the first one to defend everyone in the files.

@sree251 Obama is a hardcore institutionalist Liberal. The reason he didn't have Bush and Cheney charged for war crimes is because it would have gone against precedent. Obama also accomplished very little as president because he kept trying to compromise with the fascist Republicans, who of course were unwilling to compromise.
If he was president now, he'd refuse to have Trump charged on anything, for the same reason he gave Bush a pass.

@sree251 Yes. That's why the Democrats are unwilling to go against the norms, but Republicans do it constantly.
It does make sense. America is a liberal country, so if you're a Liberal, you think we already have the correct system. This might make you less willing to change too much, out of fear of no longer having a liberal institution. But if you're a Leftist or a Fascist, you want to radically change the system. So you're much more willing to change norms and laws.

@sree251 Sure, but they don't like change that feels radical or threatens the existing institutions. Notice how easy it was for Liberals to accept the ACA, but they think Medicare for All is basically Stalinism. It's because the ACA only slightly improved healthcare, while Medicare for All would change the healthcare industry.
