Clinton and company are acting as guilty as can be.

From a "legal stance" this is a truly astonishing statement. Truly.


You actually think the Clintons are acting like innocent parties?

I just watched NBC and ABC Nightly News programs. Both had legal experts on that stated that Clinton has no chance in successfully exerting executive privilege in this case because that privilege is always confined to "official business" and usually only in matters of national security. One smiled and said " You would have to convince the courts that Monica Lewinsky was official business".

Both programs then said that the WH was using the privilege claim as a delaying tactic - something unusual for a President who wants the truth out fast, wouldn't you agree?

NBC added that they are not sure that Clinton has actually invoked executive privilege because the WH maintains that the court has ordered them not to divulge that information.

NBC then said that WH claim is not true and that the WH could tell them - but that they want to invoke it without officially saying so.

Gee, the WH lying? How unusual. And how unusual that they want things both ways - invoking it without acknowledging so.
