Not that I am aware of yet. I hope that one day there will be a head hunt for all those treasonous traitors that have ruined this country.

The poor Nazies jobs were to follow orders and not question authority. Had they questioned their superiors they and their families may have been killed. I think in todays world as long as the president gives the Ok to commit a crime with the promise of not ever being prosecuted , is just peachy.

Indeed, as Bush did on multiple occasions.
