Interesting to work through the counterfactual on that. A lot of people seem to forget how the early Tea Party started. An awful lot of them pretended that they weren't the same people supporting GWB all along.
So what happens if Obama does decide to prosecute members of the former admin? Does the Tea Party keep the ruse, or do they go to bat for them? How does that affect the outcome in the 2010 midterms?
Perhaps it would have made the Tea Party's astroturfing more apparent to everyone.
