DM, the biggest difference would be that Bush broke no laws.
If he had, the proceedings would have started, the Dems would be or would’ve been all over it. Why would they wait? For the good of the nation? LOL.
Consider a reason (one reason) behind the huge increase in MSM reporting lambasting everything Bush and when that falls short, everything they would like to blame on him. Again, the media knows no laws were broken, so do the next best thing to indicting him legally, indict him in the minds of americans, of which a significant number are under utilized.
True to their nature the Democrats are forming a group to try to find something to try Bush for (breaking another one of their election pledges), in what is complete disregard (I’m putting that mildly) for our legal system. I guess to blindly prejudiced people, that is completely justified.
So, it does change “the essence of the argument” your argument is based upon fallacious logic.
