When someone abuses his/her positional authority while in office, they must be held accountable. Otherwise, we set up a King like state in which the King get's elected every four years.

When Clinton rifled through FBI files on his political enemies, when he tried to throw an innocent man in jail in order to gain control of the travel office, when he sexually harassed and abused women in his office. When he accepted illegal campaign contributions from foreign sources in order to get elected, and most likely gave away nuclear missile secrets in the process. These things must be investigated.

To ignore that kind of abuse of power, would be to ignore our legal system, our constitution, and ultimately our freedoms.

Presidents must be held accountable to the same laws as the rest of the citizens. They are not Kings, and shouldn't be treated like Kings for the four years the are privileged to serve as President.

The Clinton's were found guilty of attempting to ruin a decent persons life. The travel office scandal set the tone of how they wanted to run things in the White House. Coming from a backward thinking political machine of Arkansas, they thought they could play the same hard ball games and get away with it in Washington.

Reigning in that kind of abuse was a smart thing for our prosecutorial entities to engage in.
