What does this say about us as a country. If an ordinary citizen breaks the law, its the book. If you are in a position of power, can be a company executive or US congress and above, well the laws you are sworn to uphold don't apply to yourself. The way this article reads, they want to investigate to see if anything was illegal. Enough information has come out to support the contention these actions are illegal. What is needed is an investigation to gather information to prosecute. It will… Continue
