17. It's obvious they can't both be true. He lied (perjured himself) on ONE of those filings.

The problem is, if the feds prosecute, it will look political. We're getting plenty of mileage out of this without prosecuting right now anyway. You don't have to be a lawyer to see the these two statements can't both be true. Thus, just by bringing them to light, they serve their purpose.

It would be sweet to see him prosecuted after the election, but it probably won't happen then either. It would smack of political retribution. They may jail opposition party candidates in dictatorships, but we strive to have peaceful political contests where the stakes are just winning or losing the election, not your life or liberty. Of course, they did go after John Edwards...but he was in the same party as those in power, so it did not look like retribution.
