Congressional Interest in Bugliosi Book on Bush Murder Prosecution

Two interesting items came out of my Blogtalkradio interview with prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi last week on his book The Prosecution of George W. Bush For Murder.

First, he had to end the interview because he was being called by "a very conservative member of Congress" who had opposed the Iraq War. Bugliosi would not name him but claimed that the member of Congress had heard the audio book version and that the book "had convinced him that Bush misled Congress." The former prosecutor said the member of Congress said he had bought more copies and passed them on to friends. Bugliosi also said that the member of Congress told him that he wanted to "pursue this matter and find out the truth after the election."

Listen to what Bugliosi said in the interview:

Who could it be? Was it Rep. Walter B. Jones, Jr (R-NC)? He invented "Freedom Fries" when France refused to support the U.S. going to war in Iraq, and then reversed his position on the war later on. Any speculation is just that, but suppose it was Mitch McConnell? John Boehner? Probably not, but I suppose we'll find out eventually.

Second, I asked Bugliosi who was worse George Bush or Charles Manson, who Bugliosi prosecuted and convicted. He said, "It's a different type of criminality," and then explained.
Listen:

Who do you think is worse?

Why is everything *after the election*? Before the election would help all members of Congress.

[shades3]

Everything is after the election because if it were public now, much like the lies that have brought the world to the hellish position it is in now, the Bush Administration and the Republicans would have been persona non grata before the 2004 Presidential Election.
They deliberately held back the names and details of WHO specifically was responsible for the LIES that took the country to war with Iraq on the basis of lies and the greed of the Administration.
We know that now. But, what good does it do?
Once the election is over the country, indeed the world is STUCK with the administration that is elected, barring an Impeachment.
After Clinton's impeachment, politicians would rather be poked in the eye with a sharp stick that engage in a time-consuming and reputation­-destroyin­g process that is provided for booting criminals to the curb.

Read the book - Bugliosi is not talking about impeachment here. He is talking about MURDER. That is different and has more serious consequences (for Bush, anyway). Bush cannot be pardoned for murder once he is a civilian. In fact, there is a law on the books (according to Bugliosi) that says once a president is out of office he can be tried for crimes in office as a civilian.

Bugliosi - is a top prosecutor - says he has thoroughly researched this information and presents a case for any attorney in any state to press charges.

In short, Bush is f*cked. He can be held accountable for the crimes, he even qualifies for the death penalty. All it takes are some gutsy politicians to follow up on it. With some pressure from the public, that will happen.

Bush is not immune. He is crazy-scared though.

I can't believe the media is choosing to ignore the story of the century.

It is but a dream to me,.. but I would love to see the whole passel of those neo-con schmucks shuffling along in their manicles, in their bright orange jumpsuits, getting their proscribed 1 hour / day in the Federal Prision excercise yard.

It won't likely happen, but there does need to be some sort of reckoning for these criminals, and for the spineless toadies (Republican & Democrat) in Congress that enabled them.

Bugliosi was on Morning Joe last week. His book is selling too well for the MSM to completely ignore him.

I am pessimistic that anybody will actually bring him to justice. Maybe the ICC in The Hague will.

[Genisa]

I saw him on Morning Joe too, and Joe treated Bugliosi as if he was some sort of crackpot.

[shades3]

Joe Scarborough is no better than any of the neo-cons who are mis-running the country right now.
He was once close to power as a Republican senator and can't get over it.
He pretends to be even-handed, but if the guest doesn't agree with his view, he ridicules them.
Rachel Maddow is probably one of the few who challenges him, directly, and he pouts like a little kid when she does it.
Why he doesn't just say flat out that he despises anyone who isn't a Republican, thus one of "the chosen" is beyond me.

Except for heinous sexual misconduct while in office, we don't prosecute our leaders-- especially war leaders. Never have, never will. Something "unpatriotic" about it..

[Michale32086]

You won't see any impeachment or prosecution of President Bush for one simple fact.

Congress has authorized EVERYTHING that President Bush has done.

Why do you think Impeachment is "off the table"?

Impeachment is a wet dream of the Hysterical Left...

That's all it will ever be.

Michale.....

Congress did not authorize the betrayal of Plame and Brewster Jennings-an act of treason.

Congress did not authorize the politicization of Justice.

Congress did not authorize torture.

Most of the points presented to Congress for authorization were as much a misrepresentation as the biological trailers, the sixteen words, and the link between Saddam and al Qaeda were. But any of my first three points are impeachable offenses.

}}}}}But any of my first three points are impeachable offenses.

Only if you can prove them in a court of law..

You can't...

Ergo, no impeachment...

Tom: Thank you. There is no doubt that Bush and Cheney are criminals. The problem is that the Democrats are too spineless to pursue impeachment.

[Michale32086]

No, the "problem" is that Congress has authorized everything Bush has done..

Michale.....

[VeggieVeal]

Spot on!

[larryo]

That, I believe, is exactly correct!

[Vinca]

I just want to say THANKS TO HUFFPOST, for putting this article on, most of the media, avoids any mention of the name Bugiliosi

[rsaillant1]

Read this book. "The Prosecution of George W.Bush for Murder"

Any graduate of a reputable law school, with enough drive, enough time and funding, could pursue the the indictment and conviction of G.W. and his sidekicks Cheney, Rice, Tenet, Rumsfeld, etc.

Bugliosi lays it all out, chapter and verse, step by step, a virtual blueprint for nailing this group, hard.

Read this book: "The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder"

[Vinca]

Bugiliosi was a prosecuter, MAYBE HE COULD TAKE UP THE PROSECUTION OF GW BUSH

[Vinca]

GW BUSH MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AT SOME POINT< THE MOST HEINOUS CRIME IS MURDER

[checkitout]

Right on. As I said in another post, this is not about impeachment. It's about being tried for murder - a much more serious charge for Bush. Bugliosi presents irrefutable evidence that Bush knowingly misled Congress and his Cronies about the WMDs, which led to the decision to bomb Iraq. That's probably while Powell and other staffers quit - they may have seen the writing on the walls with this one.

Once he is out of office ANY prosecuting attorney can press charges on him - hell, a class-action suit - brought about by the families of the soldiers that died in the war. If McBushbot takes office he can pardon him from impeachment (which, of course we know he would) but he can't save him from a murder trial as a civilian subject to the courts.

[mgloraine]

Based on body-count alone, Bush takes the cake.

[Vinca]

I watched a video of Vincent Buguliosi on YOUTUBE, he said a Congressman seemed to agree wirh him

[Vinca]

Bugiliosi , maybe could find some more NEW CRIMES COMMITED BY GW BUSH , THAT HAPPENED BEFORE HE TOOK OFFICE
