They should have prevented this shit from happening in the first place, in order to save time now.
But they didn't, and now they have to cover their asses.
I'm cynical enough to state that not only has this stuff gone on, it will continue forever, because the bar has been lowered enough for anything to happen.
Reform isn't one of those things, and an investigation will lead absolutely nowhere, after years of legal wrangling, court orders, and committees.
Besides, there's the one option Bush will have-the power of the pardon. I can safely say that he will undoubtedly give everyone in his administration, past and present, blanket pardons for crimes they may or may not have committed, and then seal all papers dealing with said crimes in his private library.
We'll never know where all the bodies and the secrets are in our lifetimes.
