Banana Republic/Republican Watch

The evidence keeps coming in.

Another Bush-era investigation that went on forever:

"The professional responsibility office first began examining the actions of the lawyers nearly five years ago." - NYT


Obama, looking a little feckless, himself.

Update: Getting away with it?

That’s because OPR’s five-year investigation—carefully timed for release only as Bush was leaving the White House and Obama was coming in—dragged on too long. As a result of that timing, OPR blew the deadline for referring possible misconduct allegations against Yoo.

John Yoo is admitted to the bar in Pennsylvania. But the Pennsylvania Disciplinary Board, which would investigate any complaints against him, imposes a four-year limitation for complaints.

Yoo wrote the memos in 2002 and 2003. This is 2009. You do the math.
