Seeing non-existent conspiracy is what your tinfoil hat does for you. Wear it with pride.

We shall see. I think it's an exceptionally shaky case.
In any case, as Waters (unintentionally) points out, this is all just a "Get Bush" witchhunt by proxy. It's just that you folks are too cowardly to actually try to indict a former president.
