'Zactly

I give the President real credit for releasing those memos yesterday, and releasing them without heavy redaction, but

[l]etting the authors of the most humiliating episode of a uniformly incompetent and vicious administration walk while cravenly mouthing nonsense about "looking ahead not backward" is not actually that far from the crimes themselves. It's illegal to manage prosecutions of corruption and election fraud for political convenience, so how much worse is it to obstruct justice for really heinous offenses on grounds of political comfort, which is precisely what this is. (Emphasis mine.)

Word. And let's be clear here: President Obama's decision to try to block the prosection of crimes because it's politically inconvenient is obstruction of justice... in direct contravention of his twice-given oath to defend the Constitution and uphold the nation's laws. He doesn't get a pass on that just because I like him.

I've said it before: that "can't we all just play nice" bullshit is Obama's Achilles heel. I appreciate wanting to have a "drama-free" environment, and I'm aware that Congressional Republicans will have a major hissy fit, but dude...
