Reply #5: Great story. [View All]

The public wants an independent investigation; but how to translate this into political power is the question. With repugs in power everywhere, it will be difficult. But this story might have legs, so if the pressure stays high, Chimpy will have to relent (afterall, he says he wants to find out!). On the other hand, the repugs must have a plan for dealing with this. Will they be able to find someone to take the blame? Is there someone in the WH who is willing to go to jail for chimpy? But 6 reporters know who told them the name. How will the repugs get around that? Kill them? (That's one of their common ways of dealing with problems). Intimidate them somehow? (That's their other solution). It will be interesting to see how they get off the hook.
