How fortunate for me that you raise this topic. It is amazing how I can watch an event as it happens on cspan, and then read about a competely different event on the AP wires or Reuters wires, but the event happened at the same time and place. I have been looking for a place to comment upon every deceitful and biased news story that I come across. I will make sure that you receive them, if I decide to do so. As for your assertions, the link to that page no longer exists, I knew it wouldn't, and thus didn't include it in the post. The post, however, does identify the source, if you would have taken the time to read the post you would have saved me the time of responding, the time of fellow members who will read this and your post, and yourself a little embarrasment. reposted with source of post in bold emphasis.

Did First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton get an early "heads-up" on pending indictments against Linda Tripp from a good friend and confidante, Maryland's Lieutenant Governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend?

"First we are going to establish, through the discovery process, whether these charges have been brought for pure political reasons," the source explained. "And the first lady has always said publicly how close she is to the lieutenant governor... [these] questions really need to be explored. "Is this just some twisted revenge on Linda by a spouse with high political connections in the state?" The Tripp camp may have an uphill battle proving any Kennedy Townsend/White House connection. During a press conference on Friday, Howard County State's Attorney Marna McLendon strongly denied any political motive either on her part or that of state prosecutor Stephen Montanarelli, who investigated the case and will prosecute it. McLendon is a Republican and Montanarelli a Democrat. But Tripp lawyers are determined to fight. "What occurred here today," said Tripp attorney Stephen Kohn, "was that a person who was one of the most important federal witnesses in American history, one of the most important whistleblowers in American history, is facing 10 years in prison, $20,000 in fines, to be branded as a felon and, yes, to be destroyed."
