Reply #18: Scowcroft would not want to appear to be adding to Bush 43's worst

[Nothing Without Hope]

moment, when news and speculation of coming indictments is as its peak. He wants to be listened to by the administration, not make the walls even higher. He's Bush 41's best friend. He would have wanted this to come out well after the indictments, when it would be a message to the Admnistration rather than fuel on an already raging fire. He certainly does not want to be perceived as grandstanding.

This guy is no friend to Dems, let alone a progressive agenda, and he doesn't want to alienate the Bush family.
