Hi DougHboy; Regarding the convictions of Clinton's buddies
so far...
Historically, organized criminals in the US have ended up being
convicted of penny-ante crimes rather than the big ones. In
addition, the convictions start with the small players, then move
up the food chain to the big guys. Was it Al Capone they finally
convicted of avoiding the income tax? This is just the normal
sequence of criminal justice in this country. It is slow, and not
particularly efficient. This is largely cause we require the
government prove the crimes, rather than merely allege them.
Criminal conspiracies are hard to break, and none is harder
than one headed by the POTUS.
Hillary and Bill should have been nailed for the obvious payoff
performed through the cattle futures scam. Their broker assigned
positions at the end of each day to the first lady's account only
if that position had become profitable. If it was unprofitable, it
was assigned instead to Tyson chicken. He was later convicted
for doing this same thing with respect to another client, but not
with the Clintons. This is one example of the many obvious
crimes these people have committed. Why hasn't the government
prosecuted? Plenty of reasons. Statutes of limitations. Friends
in the judiciary. Inability to obtain proof "beyond the shadow
of a doubt." Etc.
The fact is that if Monica had not kept a dress with a stain on
it, Clinton would still be destroying her reputation by accusing
her of being an insane liar, just as he has done for the past
7 months. Can you imagine what it must be like to have the
most powerful man in the world calling you a liar?
The fact is that the POTUS has publicly admitted to sexual
relations with a person that he swore under oath that he could
not remember being alone with. He lied about their relationship
in order to assist his defence of a sexual harassment case.
What should we do? Should everybody accused of sexual
harassment be given the right to lie under oath?
The basis of our judicial system is that witnesses "swear to tell
the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Clinton
has clearly lied under oath.
Perjury is a serious offence. Convicted felons cannot vote.
They certainly cannot be president. Clinton is in big trouble.
Sure, go ahead and say that this is all about sex, but there
are plenty of other stuff smelly about this man. He arranged
hush money in the form of a cushy job for Monica, (as well
as Webster H., etc.) This is a far worse crime than having
sex on federal property. It just turns out that proving the
perjury is easier. It is in the nature of the criminal justice
system to prove the things that are easy to prove, and to
leave more difficult to prove crimes unprosecuted.
Clinton is a disgusting criminal, and does not belong in the
job he has. He should be removed from it as soon as possible.
Al Gore would be a lot better.
