Bush is likely to try to grant blanket immunity to all the criminals in his administration, phrasing it as a pardon for unspecified crimes, even though a pardon can occur only after a conviction for a crime.
The smart thing to do on January 20th, right after the swearing in, would be to take Bush and Cheney into custody, which would clearly signal that this kind of lie is not going to fly. The world's billions would cheer. The smart criminals would go into hiding. The idiots would stay and try to reinvent themselves.
