Bugliosi: “How dare they do what they did”

Vincent Bugliosi, the author of “Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder,” says that the “terrible reality” is that the Bush Administration has gotten away with thousands upon thousands of murders. Bugliosi says that the evidence for the impeachment charges put on former President Bill Clinton were “infinitely less significant” than those found under the Bush Administration. He says that based on the evidence written in his book, Congress should not have “any difficulty making a criminal referral to the Department of Justice” in order to commence a criminal investigation of the Bush Administration. Bugliosi says that every American should be outraged by what the Bush Administration has done. (1:29)
