ABC News also reported that the story was shopped to them by Sydney Blumenthal....

If anything the fact that Henry Hyde had an affair years ago would tend to make him more "sympathic" in his view of Clinton. But again, for what seems like the zillionth time, Mr. Clinton is not being charge with adultery. The criminal acts which have been uncovered by the OIC investigation are (from the referral) a)lying under oath at a civil deposition while he was a defendant in a sexual harassment lawsuit, b)attempting to influence the testimony of a potential witness who had direct knowledge of facts that would reveal the falsity of his deposition testimony; c)attempted to obstruct justice by facilitating a witness's plan to refuse to comply with a subpoena; d)attempted to obstruct justice by encouraging a witness to file an affidavit that the President knew would be false, and then by making use of that false affidavit at his own deposition; e) lied to potential grand jury witnesses, knowing that they would repeat those lies before the grand jury; and f)engaged in a pattern of conduct that was inconsistent with his constitutional duty to faithfully execute the laws.

I don't believe Henry Hyde stands accused of any of the above behavior. bp
