Joe Biden: Consider Criminal Charges Against Administration

| Thu Aug. 9, 2007 7:43 AM PDT

Joe Biden recently sat down with Newsweek to discuss his presidential campaign and his thoughts on 35 years in the Senate. When asked about impeachment, Biden said he's against the idea because impeachment proceedings would paralyze Congress and take the nation's focus off other, more important matters. But he has a pretty stunning Plan B.

The alternative, and it's taken me time to think through, I think we should be acquiring and accumulating all the data that is appropriate for possibly bringing criminal charges against members of this administration at a later date.

Somebody call Elizabeth de la Vega! She's already made the case.

Oh, and you can put to rest those rumors that Biden, who is chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and one of Washington's most informed foreign policy experts, is campaigning in order to be named Secretary of State.

I promise you, I don't want to be secretary of State.

Clear enough? He's also a longtime member of the Judiciary Committee, so maybe instead of running State, Biden can be in charge of those criminal prosecutions.

More rhetoric...reminds me of conyers, pelosi and others playing our 911 emotions.

Or winning control of Congress on a platform that included ending the Iraq occupation, and putting an end to warrantless wiretapping of US citizens, only to prolong the occupation and LEGALIZE the unConstitutional wiretaps..??
