Neo, I just heard that Correta Gore (daughter of Al) said in an interview when asked, "what does dad do that bothers you". He insists on playing back the VCR movie whenever someone leaves the room to make sure they saw what they missed.

Question: Does this sound like the kind of person who would go to the bathroom during lunch and not asked what was discussed in his absence??

True enough. And then there's this:

New grand jury assembled to probe Clinton in Lewinsky scandal
August 17, 2000
Web posted at: 4:17 p.m. EDT (2017 GMT)

From CNN Correspondents John King, Bob Franken and Patty Davis
LOS ANGELES (CNN) -- Sources tell CNN Independent Counsel Robert Ray has seated a grand jury as part of an investigation of President Clinton in the scandal involving former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.


President Clinton faces a new investigation by a federal grand jury

Based on Ray's past statements, the action is not a surprise -- only that it leaked out on the day Vice President Al Gore accepts his party's nomination to be Clinton's successor. However, Ray has said repeatedly that regardless of where the investigation leads, there will be no indictment returned against Clinton before he leaves office in January.

"The process serves to vindicate that no person -- even a president -- is above the law," Ray said in an interview with CNN March 19.

Legal sources said the grand jury actually was empaneled in July.

"The timing of this absolutely reeks," said one White House official, "but given the past record of that office, it's not surprising" -- a reference to the activities primarily of Ray's predecessor, Ken Starr.

"The timing seems very odd that it comes out today, given the fact that it (the formation of the grand jury) occurred more than a month ago," said Gore campaign spokesman Chris Lehane.

"Republicans want to focus on the past," he said. "Gore and (Joseph) Lieberman want to focus on the future."
