Meet the Man Who Has Been Battling Romney and Bain’s Bankruptcy Fraud for 12 Years

78. There's a reason we should wait

In November 2014 comes the next midterm election.

If we punish Romney now the right wing nut cases will claim the president is retaliating against Romney for the sin of challenging him in the presidential election. Oh, and we don't have any evidence, we're just going after him for trying to unseat Obama. The Mighty Wurlitzer will play the Retaliation Song for the next two years, and there'll be a whole new bunch of RW assholes who promise to impeach Obama for retaliating against the poor sweet innocent Romney, and to write a bunch of anti-retaliation laws.

If we punish Romney between "now" and the 2014 election, see the last paragraph.

Punishing Romney after the 2014 election does two things for us: it cuts off the "retaliation" crap at the knees, and it allows investigators to prepare a case so strong and watertight you could make a submarine door out of it.

Karl Rove, OTOH, should be indicted now. There is enough strong, and public, evidence against the bastard that it would be no problem finding twenty or thirty charges you could definitely get to stick...and with Rove I really recommend prosecuting him like they did Al Capone. When Eliot Ness went after Capone he came up with a LOT of good solid charges against him--income tax, Volstead Act violations, Mann Act violations (one of Capone's first jobs in the underworld was running a whorehouse that straddled a state line--Illinois-Indiana, I believe. When the cops from one state came to raid it, Capone would quickly get everyone into the state the cops were not from. Why in hell someone from the Illinois State Police never set up a joint raid with the Indiana State Police I do not know.), murder charges, racketeering, just so much stuff. But because Capone was a danger to the public if left at large Ness's purpose was to throw Al Capone in jail for anything they could get to stick; therefore, they were prepared to bring new charges into court until they got a conviction, and started with tax evasion--which got them a conviction on their first go-round. Rove never bootlegged and he never, so far as we know, actually killed anyone, but he's left a trail of slime behind him you could slide the Empire State Building to Massachusetts on, and somewhere in there is a couple hundred years worth of prison time should someone choose to accept the challenge.
