Paul Krugman doesn't think the incoming administration should just forgive and forget all the past indiscretions of the outgoing one. If no one is above the law, then those who break it must be prosecuted. There's no room for ambiguity.

I’m sorry, but if we don’t have an inquest into what happened during the Bush years — and nearly everyone has taken Mr. Obama’s remarks to mean that we won’t — this means that those who hold power are indeed above the law because they don’t face any consequences if they abuse their power.
