I posted this in the Salon this morning before reading more than a few tidbits at the Orange place.  If Holder and his people at Justice have already not only started throwing names around, but whittled it down to ten (five from DoJ, five from outside), it sounds to me like he's a tad more than leaning towards a special prosecutor.

I still have my doubts that anybody's going to be investigated seriously, let alone prosecuted, for the crimes of the Bush administration, but if Holder does appoint a special prosecutor, I never want to hear the words "Marc Rich" from the Little Kossacks again.

Like you, I don't think there will be proper investigations, everybody's gonna get amnesia or plead the 5th. Finally, the idea that there will be prosecutions is laughable.

Which means that even talking about is politically a bad idea. Cos right now the repugs are just about giving up on being hysterically negative cos, depsite Harry Reid, they're going nowhere with it and even they've begun to notice it makes them look stupid. So the last thing Obama needs is something to give them a spark.

You ought have no doubts investigations and hearings conducted by a special prosecutor will be frivolous. There is no criminal activity to prosecute.

DoJ successfully defends Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Ashcroft, Yoo et al.

Federal legislation indemnifies agency personnel: Public Law 09-366 §8 (MCA), H.R.2346 ("War Bill" a/k/a "Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2009" a/k/a "Gitmo Relocation Manual") Cornyn Amdt. 1139.

Reveal of the master of ceremonies will likely coincide with the start of the 2009 TV season.
