Denouement

Even while we all wait anxiously for the Nazghul to plummet shrieking into Orodruin, or at least the Potomac, we should remember that it probably won't go down like that, even if the scoundrels are indicted. Those who can remember 1991 may recall that Pappy Bush was in a spot of trouble, what with the Iran Contra Special Prosecutor having indicted a whole slew of Reagan-Bush captains and button men, and all of them with potential evidence of Reagan and Bush having committed perjury. Pappy neatly cut that Gordian knot by pardoning the lot of them, in advance of trial.

This family knows how to cover up, whether it's Gramp's and Great-Gramp's roles as Hitler's bankers, Pappy's prevarications, or W's many sins. It's in their DNA.
