A regime in every negative sense of the word, a cabal who seized power by fraud and initiated an unprovoked aggressive war on a distant nation that posed no threat, resulting in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. A regime that announced its doctrinal contempt for the Constitution and rule of law, that legitimated torture, the "unitary executive" and shadow government.
Investigating the crimes of this regime was not only the right thing, it was a vital national priority to assure that the criminals and their party would not be able to return to power. If crime pays, criminals are empowered.
These predictions did not require magic or complex math, just a bit of historical memory.
Is America stupid enough to allow the mistakes of the past to repeat itself?

Apparently a large portion of our population IS that stupid. Jimmy Carter said this nation is more divided than at any time since the Civil War. I pray that is not the outcome but there certainly is enough hatred to make it seem like an option.
