They said Impeachment was off the table and they meant it. Nothing Bush & Co. has done has rose to the level of having a mistress, hence was not worth the time and effort to expose to the American Public. As the Clinton investigation and impeachment proved, impeachment is solely for sexual scandals. War Crimes are not impeachable offenses. Bush & Co. may have bankrupted the country both financially and morally, but it was with Pelosi's blessings. Gotta give Pelosi and Conyers credit where credit is due.
