By eliminating the punishment handed down by the courts, Bush has proven he can protect those who will remain silent from prosecution.
With he recent overturning of precedent by the SCOTUS, we also see a major change in the dynamics of the highest court that may very well limit any higher level prosecution and at the very least force those thinking impeachment to seriously consider the chances of success, hampering further the inclination to delve deeper into investigation.
This seems a very well thought out and patient approach to changing the foundations of power in our country, and though I personally am disturbed by these changes I must give credit to those who have worked to create the atmosphere required to pull this off. We are likely watching a reworking of the United States Republic from the sidelines, and are mostly powerless to stop it. The Executive branch has pulled off a sort of Coup, and it would seem they have been mostly successful. By controlling the Executive, Judiciary, and Justice Dept. they pretty much control the country and can minimize the House for all intent and purpose.
Regardless of how much information the opposition may find in investigation, they are castrated when it comes to doing anything with the Data.
