Then George Stephanopoulos asked Obama himself to answer the question
directly on This Week on Sunday. First, Obama tried to duck the
question with a talking point that could have come straight out of
Karl Rove's twisted mouth, that he was "looking forward not
backward". But, when pressed by Stephanopoulos, Obama also suggested
that it would largely be up to Eric Holder, his attorney general
nominee.

selected members of the Senate Judiciary Committee with calls for
Eric Holder to answer how he will uphold the rule of law with respect
to the crimes of the outgoing administration. The confirmation
hearing starts this Thursday at 9:30 AM, so we have to jump all over
this in the couple days between now and then.
You can reach any Senator tollfree by calling either 800-828-0498 or
800-473-6711 and asking to be connected to them by name.
