Vermonters called on a prosecutor to issue an arrest warrant against the President.  John Turley reminded us a sitting President can be prosecuted, outside impeachment. Pelosi took impeachment off the table. McClellan wrote a book. Nuremberg reminds us that a civilized nation must either prosecute or impeach.

Nothing's happened.  Vincent Bugliosi in The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder establishes jurisdication to prosecute this sitting President. After the acknowledgments section in his book, Bugliosi presents a map of the United States shows post 9-11 combat deaths by county and state: "US deaths in Iraq from all corners of the nation"

* Jurisdiction for DA's, State AGs to Prosecute Bush For Murder

Bugliosi contends this map shows each of the county district attorneys and all fifty (50) state Attorney Generals have jurisdiction to prosecute a sitting President for murder. You have the information you need to present to your District Attorney, and make them explain why they have not heeded Vermonter's example, and issued arrest warrants against the President.

Some of the Attorney Generals have confronted the President on warrantless surveillance. Your State AGs cannot claim that there is no precedent for confronting this President at the state level. Once prosecuted at the state level, the President would have to request, but is not guaranteed, a pardon from your state's Governor.

The President though he could fool one Speaker. Now, the President has every District Attorney and State AG getting the question:

Where's the prosecutors plan to confront the President and Vice President with direction prosecutions and second guess Rove and Pelosi.

If you're wondering why the DNC and GOP are both opposing an impeachment, it's because of partisan goals. But there's more to the story. Scott McClellan in What Happened shares Rove's political strategies.

The President typically rallied around centrists policies to rally his base. Rove argued the President could not embrace immigration reform and other social issues until the DNC and GOP united behind the President. McClellan contends the DNC and GOP united on the idea of freedom for Iraqis, and ignored the illegal invasion and lack of imminent threat.

* Imbalanced Argument on Investigations

The GOP's agenda on impeachment has been to persuade the DNC to believe any investigation or impeachment would undermine the DNC; and that inaction would unite the country. Did you catch that convoluted argument?

What Rove's done is couch fact finding in terms of a negative for the DNC; and inaction as good for the country. Those two arguments are imbalanced and do not reconcile. Also, notice the GOP isn't mentioned; and we're asked to believe that "no facts" is beneficial. Where did we hear that before? WMD. In truth, inaction is only good for the GOP, the GOP base, and Rove's strategy. Not good for the Constitution, Pelosi, or the DNC.

* GOP Propaganda for GOP Interests

There is no data supporting any contention that fact finding is bad. The real aim of the President, GOP, and Rove is to avoid fact finding so the GOP base is not fractured. McClellan revealed in What Happened how Rove would guide the President to avoid issues which would undermine the GOP base. One way to do this is to avoid fact finding, and ensure the GOP does not confront any new information.

The GOP's goal with Pelosi is to convince her that inaction on impeachment and no investigations is good for the DNC. It's not a factor. There's no evidence showing that an investigation or impeachment will be bad for the DNC. It is a fabricated argument and propaganda. You will find no one in the DNC who has any data to support this assertion. It is GOP-sourced propaganda.

* Inaction to Minimize Impacts to GOP Base

The Goal of the GOP is simple. To motivate the GOP base -- on the basis of no facts, no information, no investigation, and no confrontation with reality -- that ignorance is leadership. The real objective of the GOP is to minimize the GOP losses, maintain and consolidate its base, and induce the DNC to believe that ignorance is in the interests of the DNC. No, ignorance is only in the interests of Rove, the GOP, and the President.

The public has the information in Bugliosi's book on how to prosecute a sitting President. The public must demand the GOP and DNC leadership provide data supporting their contention that fact finding will undermine the country. It will not. Fact finding will only further fracture the GOP base. Pelosi has been induced to believe that fact finding will tear the country apart. In truth, it will only further destroy the GOP.

* Illegal Propaganda To Avoid War Crimes Trials For Illegal Warfare Using Inappropriate Force

The Supreme Court said the President did not use appropriate force; Congress only authorized appropriate force.The DNC has nothing to fear by confronting the GOP, their propaganda, or the false pleas for "national unity." This is deceptive. These are the same arguments for "patriotism" which the GOP propagandists used to thwart challenges to the dubious WMD claims.

There was no imminent threat, and Ambassador Wilson knew this. 9-11 happened under George Bush's watch, but America blamed the intelligence community, not the President. This President illegally waged war against country that had no connection with 9-11, but upon thei return, on the board of the USS Lincoln declared "mission accmoplished" against Irquis who were (supposedly) behind the 9-11 attacks.

"With those attacks, the terrorists and their supporters [in Iraq] declared war on the United States. And war is what they [the Iraqis] got."

This President continues to lie about why he invaded Iraq. He didn't believe anything. He knew he was fabricating a story, and that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11. McClellan knew it, Rove knew it, and the Congress knows it.

Any assertion that an investigation or impeachment will be bad for the DNC is reckless. An investigation will give us information: What is going on; what has happened; and what do we do. We don't have the information needed to make a decision to do nothing.

* Informed Voters Evaluating Reasonableness of Decisions

The public will be able to decide, based on that information, whether the decision to do nothing or impeach is or isn't reasonable. Right now, the public has no basis to believe that impeachment is unreasonable because the public has no information and there's been no investigation.

Rather, absent any evidence of innosense, the best way forward is to believe the opposite: There is a reasonable basis to start an investigation, and decide whether Pelosi should or should not be removed; or whether Pelosi and others in the DNC should have recused themselves, but are in Turley's word "collusion."

* Demanding Proof For Absurd Claims

For the above reasons, the public must -- as it failed to do with the Iraq WMD issues -- throw the argument back to the DNC and GOP leadership, and make them explain:

A. Where is the data supporting their contention that ignorance is the basis for prudence.

That is folly, sound policy making and leadership is based on facts, not this President's delusionary distractions.

B. Where is the data proving -- without information -- that the DNC base will oppose the DNC leadership for attempting to gather facts.

That is illusory and GOP propaganda, because fact finding will bolster the DNC's credibility, and give voters a chance to evaluate whether the President's decisions were or were not reasonable.

C. Where is the evidence proving -- without an investigation -- that a carefully considered House decision to challenge the President will undermine the country.

That claim is GOP propaganda, most likely linked to Rove. In truth, fact finding will undermine the GOP base.

D. Where is there any evidence proving -- without any facts or an investigation -- that the DNC "will" suffer a setback after conducting an investigation.

That claim is GOP propaganda, and the GOP fears further implosion with facts.

E. Where is the discussion about the impact facts would have on the GOP base?

GOP propaganda has induced Pelosi and the DNC to believe that the risks to the DNC overshadow the risks to the GOP. In truth, the prospect of GOP's implosion is a far more likely spectacle than any threat to the Constitution or nation.

F. Where is there any evidence that fact finding will destroy the country, cause dissension in the country, and be bad for the country?

That is GOP propaganda, designed to avoid an investigation, and block the voters from confronting information that would fracture the GOP base, not the country.

Scott McClellan's book lays the foundation to understand the propaganda behind Pelosi's absurd assertion that facts and confrontation will be bad only for the country or DNC. The GOP propagandists have one goal: To thwart a war crimes indictment through either impeachment or prosecutions.

* Prosecuting This Sitting President

The way forward is to use Bugliosi's book as the basis for your DA and State Attorney General to establish jurisdiction to prosecute this sitting President; immediately confront this President with grand jury indictments; and follow the lead of Vermont and issue arrest warrants.

No one has provided any information justifying confidence that facing facts is a danger, threat, or might be a problem for the Constitution. McClellan well shows Rove is willing to cross the line and do some sinister things. The public must work through the DAs and State AGs to do what the Congress refuses to do: Use all legal tools, including impeachment, to confront this President. The Congress refuses.

It's time for the public to contact the prosecutors at the local and state level and do what the House leadership refuses to do: Confront this President's illegal activity and prosecute him for illegal activity. Once prosecuted at the state or local level, some governors are prohibited form issuing pardons for treason. This will ensure the President is never given a chance to claim the charges and convictions have been forgiven.

Let's get to work at the state and local level; review Buliosi's book; and prosecute this sitting President. Then, we can move to prosecute legal counsel who refuse to enforce the law; and then confront Members of Congress who, in Turley's words, are in "collusion" with the President.
