Yoo claims he ‘helped save Obama’s presidency’

Torture architect distorts investigation timeline to blame Obama

Recently cleared from criminal prosecution, President Bush's "torture architect" John Yoo criticized Obama on Wednesday for allegedly ordering a "witch hunt" against him. But the timeline reflects that the investigation of his transgressions began under the former president, not the current one.

In an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal Wednesday titled "My Gift to the Obama Presidency," http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704188104575083473537079844.html
Yoo declared that he "may have just helped save Obama's presidency. How? By winning a drawn-out fight to protect his powers as commander in chief to wage war and keep Americans safe."

The Justice Department's Office of Personal Responsibility recently declared that Yoo and fellow torture architect Jay Bybee should not be disbarred, instead merely issuing them a rhetorical slap for "professional misconduct" and "poor judgment" for ignoring established case law.

Doubling down on the efficacy of his decisions, Yoo defended Bush lawyers and squared the blame for his reproach on Obama for "hounding those who developed, approved or carried out Bush policies" and criticized the "rank bias and sheer incompetence" of OPR's investigation
