Look first of all I am not nor will I ever be a lawyer and I am not defending Clinton. I am trying to figure out what the justification was for our appointed officials to spend 40million tax payer's dollars when IMHO they could of probably found many a cures for much needed diseases had they spend that same monies time and effort to find something out that we already knew! If it was to vindicate Packwood then you should remember his complaints came from those women he had sex with while Monica Lawinsky's arms and hair was pulled to get her to even go into the court room not to mention what her mother was put through! Not the same Packwood was much different.

You're right. Packwood didn't lie under oath about it. That's about the only difference though. The Lewinsky matter surfaced due to the Paula Jones sexual-misconduct law suit. (Of course, Paula Jones is just a liar like all those other women Clinton has denied having anything to do with, I guess.) Packwood and Clinton both resisted turning over incriminating documents. Both used their office to try to hide from prosecution.

The money was spent due to a law passed by a Democrat-controlled Congress to make sure we didn't have to have another Nixon. Don't forget that real felonies were uncovered by that investigation, people went to prison and a Governor was convicted and resigned, only nothing could be conclusively pinned on Clinton. And you have a Clinton supporter charged with criminal contempt because she refused to testify under subpoena since Sept 1996.

As far as the money spent finding out what we already knew, the First Liar is at fault there for lying under oath, lying to the entire nation and then stonewalling for seven months. Clinton's supporters have also ran up millions in legal bills fighting Starr. I suggest they ask the President for reimbursement since he was lying to them too.
