Almost nobody wants to punish their predecessors, because that would tie their hands next time. You cause the death of a suspect while using an illicit chokehold? Well, it wasn’t a chokehold. It was a reasonable use of force, OK? The new guys are the same as the old guys. Obama could come into office, ban torture, and make morally upright frowny faces about how bad it is. But he wasn’t about to prosecute anyone and do anything that might come back to him.
