Bill Kristol: Possibly No Indictments

[Brwn_eyes0511]

And here is the point: Unless the perjury is clear-cut or the obstruction of justice willful and determined, we hope that the special prosecutor has the courage to end the inquiry without bringing indictments. It is fundamentally inappropriate to allow the criminal law to be used to resolve what is basically a policy and political dispute within the administration, or between the administration and its critics.

And I will go out on a limb to say this, based on the very limited information one can glean from press accounts: It seems to me quite possible–dare I say probable?–that no indictments would be the just and appropriate resolution to this inquiry.
