Bush happened because of the pardoning of Nixon. The Nixon pardon happened because of Cheney and Rumsfeld, who were first in Nixon's administration and then as Gerald Ford's chiefs-of-staff. These are not just disconnected events. These people have been up to mischief for a long while. They never got over Watergate and their fall from grace. They never believed they did anything wrong, and now Obama and Democrats have helped that to become reality.
Running from these facts isn't going to make the Nixon-Reagan-Bush-Cheney-GOP-Conservatives behave, or go away. Waiting them out, until they d!e, isn't going to end it -- They've raised and trained an army of 'true believers' to carry on after they're gone.
Investigations and trials go a long way in dealing with that. It's not their minds you want to change, but the millions of Americans who never knew the facts. They broke the law, and we enforce the law so that people KNOW the laws and live by them. If People don't agree with the laws, if they don't like the laws, they can change the laws. But the People have to have a direct experience and understanding of the laws before they can change them. And that's how you get an informed, healthy and active democracy. With a knowledgeable electorate.
