IMO, we can't charge them. If we did then we could get into a retaliatorial pissing match between the parties where each president will be looking to dig up dirt on the previous president and their administration in an attempt to file charges for something. It is a strange situation.
That may be true but that's a horrible excuse to use to ignore wrong doing. Failing to address this crime will have a negative impact on our world standing. Before you blow that off as 'who cares', understand that almost every war we entered into we did it through moral justification and we had support because of that justification. If we continue with these, 'it's ok for us but not for you', moves we could easily be on the receiving end of some backlash, financially and physically.
On an unrelated note: I've noticed that the right wingnuts have pretty much gone fascist.
They claim to be uber patriotic and anyone who disagrees with them or holds contrary views must hate America.
They support the use of torture.
They support police use of excessive force against people they don't like.
They support big government when it comes to personal matters they disagree with.
They support the mixing of religion and government.
They support intimidation through guns.
And they use and deal out propaganda quite frequently.
