This case is only begining to be cracked opened, and the vast majority of it is still Top Secret. I don't think he will be convicted during his impeachment, but then again, he's annoying alot of people. He would need a 2/3 majority to be convicted of the impeachment I don't see this occurring. Clinton was convicted on Article one of his Impeachment regarding his lying to the Grand Jury about Monica. I know that he can be prosecuted, but I don’t really see that as an option in this case.

I know that Clinton didn't get impeached, but he was still up for prosecution for lying about the Lewinsky thing. That is until he did a deal to essentially admit he lied in exchange for the charges being dropped by the special prosecutor who replaced Starr. I would imagine he could be prosecuted by not impeached, especially given the Republican majority right now. Anybody else know anything about this? Actually, I’m not sure about that.

While I agree that investigation needs to be done, but what it comes down to is Bush's word against the law. Some one will need to decide which is correct. I don't think you can talk about prosecution without impeachment in this case, as the president said that he was the one who reviewed and decided to keep the program in operation. justin,
