I personally did not expect much in the way of a successful investigation, nor do I forsee impeachment ahead. I am relatively impressed that they are trying though....and will even admit to some satisfaction that the administration is forced to be so blatant in its disregard for Law. One can only wonder what this mess would be like if the DOJ wasn't in the presidents pocket.
On another front ACE....you seem to at least be accepting that Bush and Co. have committed illegal acts, I consider that progress.

Oh no.
I don't conceed the Administration violated anyone's rights as outlined in the Constitution. I think this is a very complicated issue where even reasonable Constitutional experts may disagree and my opinion is the wiretaps were o.k. and there are no "victims" . i further think the quote you gave in the OP is dead on. Congress is looking for internal disagreement within the Administration. I do not think they are trying to do anything other than embarass the White House for political reasons.
I was just trying to stay on topic.
