Should the DoJ go after Romney after all that's come to light?

[BarackTheVote]

Tax evasion, embezzlement of funds from the auto bail-out, etc.? I'm sick of these greedy corporados getting away with murder, I'd love to see this guy made an example of. We should have pressed criminal war crimes charges against Bush, IMHO... would love to make Romney pay for stepping into the light, exposing all of his dirty dealings.

1. I would be concerned

About that triggering a back and forth. When the tables are turned that would end up being the fate of our candidate

[BarackTheVote]

8. My fear would then be

that any white-collar criminal with ass-loads of ill-gotten-gain could just run for president under the GOP banner and be safe from all prosecution. The GOP: America's best money laundering scheme for the mega-wealthy.

11. They do it all the time. Are you kidding? Remember Clinton? Gary Hart?

[librechik]

2. right. That's going to happen.

I wish. The folks who can do anything about these shenanigans suddenly develop amnesia the day after an election. All is forgiven. (by us, though the Repubs continue to plot revenge and will never forgive us for Watergate))

We won't even talk about it. How is anything going to get done to prosecute these elite criminal gangs?

[bongbong]

3. ABSOLUTELY!

It would be a model for all the other white-collar crooks who have stolen trillions (not billions, trillions) from America.

[Angry Dragon]

4. yes

[leftyohiolib]

5. of course they should no one is (supposed to be) above the law

[Baitball Blogger]

6. Hell ya!

[DisgustipatedinCA]

7. Yes, they should, but my suspicion is that he signed an amnesty deal with the DoJ

r.e. his Swiss bank accounts.

[Corgigal]

9. No

I just want him to go away. Now what the I.R.S. thinks is their business but the rest...NO.

[LeftInTX]

10. If he's broken a law and it's within statute of limitations - yes

[robinlynne]

12. and John Husted. and the privately run elections.....

[Tigress DEM]

13. YES --- but he should be allowed to pay his way out.

ALL the tax evasion, including the Netherlands and going back at least 10 years should be prosecuted in order to get the back taxes paid, not to imprison... unless he doesn't pay up, then sorry Charlie.

AND we should pass legislation that 10 years of back taxes are REQUIRED to be released as well as a person's birth certificate if you want to run for the highest office in the land, but it should apply equally to ALL candidates.

It'll be a big dent in one corner of the deficit. Maybe we should put it in the SNAP program so more people can qualify even if they are working class poor so they don't have to choose between gas for the car to get to work or food for their family.
