(15,689 posts)That's a really odd non-answer. Four years ago Bush was no longer President, finally. He was in control of neither Congress nor the Dept of Justice. Democrats were. Four years ago, Chris Matthews' leg was getting all tingly for a new war president: Barack Obama.

Rachel Maddow is her own person. She doesn't need to worry about Ann Coulter's opinion.
The time to investigate, as I said at the time, was right then. It might have meant something. Aggressive prosecutions of Bush era abuses in the realm of the economy and (gasp) lying the country into a horrible war that dragged on and on could have kept Republicans from retaking the House in 2010, for one thing. Not to mention that is was SIMPLY THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
