Does Biden think he can get away with this?

No shame. Flat-out lie. Scary.

Guardian: Obama might pursue criminal charges against Bush administration

When asked during a campaign event in Deerfield Beach, Florida, whether he would “pursue the violations that have been made against our Constitution by the present administration”, Biden answered in the affirmative.

“We will not be stopped from pursuing any criminal offence that’s occurred,” he continued, going on to praise congressional committees for the deliberate pace of their inquiries into alleged Bush administration misdeeds.

Members of Congress are “doing the right thing, they’re not making false accusations about anything … they’re collecting data, subpoenaing records, they’re building a file”, Biden said.

“If there has been a basis upon which you can pursue someone for a criminal violation, they will be pursued – not out of vengeance, not out of retribution, out of the need to preserve the notion that no one, no attorney general, no president — no one is above the law.”

Misquotes? Nope.

Fox and Friends this morning.

Starting at about 2:00:

Kilmeade: “…you are actually going to pursue charges against President Bush’s administration and different people that serve there?”

Biden: “That’s not true and I don’t know where that report is coming from.”

With the pap being “reported” about Sarah Palin supposedly “stretching the truth” (most everything in those “stories” is easily de-bunkable and I may have a chance later to go over it with a Fisk-toothed comb), will the MSM call Biden out on this screaming, burning, glowing lie?
