Gee, who told you that? someone in a position to know? and if so, that is one of the least offensive ways to unwind I can think of........ As for Gore, whether or not he should have stayed on the job, it is certain that he should not have stood up for Clinton and claimed he was the greatest president, right after the impeachment. We differ in our assessment of the candidates characters, generally.......

Surely you jest, or just haven't been reading lately.... KLP Message 14354544 amazon.com. SellOut: The Inside Story of President Clinton's Impeachment by David P. Schippers Editorial Reviews The publisher, Regnery Publishing, Inc. , July 5, 2000 Back door deals, behind the scenes.. As a former Chicago prosecutor, David Schippers thought he had seen everything-treachery, double crosses, sellouts. But what he saw behind the scenes at the Clinton impeachment shocked him to his core. This is his story- the story from a man who knows more than anyone else about what went on behind closed doors leading up to the impeachment of President Clinton. David Schippers, the former Chief Investigative Counsel of the House Judiciary Committee, and a loyal Democrat, went against his party, the press, and public opinion to build a powerful case against the most corrupt President in American history and bring him to justice. But in this startling book, Schippers shows how the entire impeachment process was what Chicago politicians call a "First Ward election." In other words, a rigged ball game, a tank job, a sellout. And he tells you who took the dives. In Sellout you'll learn: -Which GOP Senator told Schippers and the brave House Managers, "You're not going to dump this garbage on us." -Which Democrats never bothered to examine the evidence-because they simply didn't want to know. -Which GOP Senator shouted, "I don't care if you prove that [Clinton] raped a woman and then stood up and shot her dead- you are not going to get sixty-seven votes." -Why Democrats and Republicans conspired to conceal the most damning evidence of impeachable, even criminal, offenses. -How a note handwritten by the President himself offers evidence of perjury. -How Clinton tried to keep his women quiet. -How Republicans cooperated with Janet Reno's Justice Department to keep the LaBella report on possibly impeachable Clinton-Gore fund-raising offenses secret. -How Schippers unraveled a "criminals for Clinton" conspiracy involving immigrants hurriedly naturalized for Democratic votes- a program run from the office of Al Gore. Sellout is a stunning indictment of President Clinton's corruption- and of the congressional leaders who let him get away with it. 888888888888888888888888888888> Message 14291548 Gore Mum on INS Vote Scandal CNSNews.com Tuesday, Aug. 29, 2000 Democrat presidential nominee Al Gore maintained his silence Monday on the explosive charges leveled in a new book, accusing him of pressuring the Immigration and Naturalization Service to speed the citizenship paperwork for tens of thousands of new immigrants so they could vote in the 1996 election. The accusations are made in "Sellout," written by David Schippers, who served as the top investigative counsel for Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee during the Clinton impeachment trial and events surrounding the scandal. Schippers alleges that many of the immigrants who were sped through the system by INS had violent criminal records even before they got to the United States and then committed violent crimes in America as well. Schippers says his staff gathered the immigration evidence beginning in June 1998 as part of the Judiciary Committee's oversight investigation of the Justice Department. In particular, Schippers and his team of investigators were looking into the Clinton White House's use of the INS during the 1996 presidential campaign. Schippers contends the Clinton-Gore administration pressured the INS into expediting its "Citizenship USA" program to grant citizenship to aliens the Clinton White House considered likely Democrat voters. According to Schippers, he and his staff gathered much of that evidence even before they began investigating the Clinton impeachment case. However, Schippers believes if he and his staff had been given enough time to put together evidence and witnesses, "Citizenship USA" might have even figured in Clinton's impeachment trial. "When we got into it, we realized that there were 60,000 people, 60,000 felony records that never made it into the (FBI immigrant) file, which means there were 60,000 people who were felons who had gotten citizenship," Schippers told CNSNews.com. In his book, Schippers writes, "it was Gore who pressed the Immigration and Naturalization Service to grant citizenship to immigrants who might vote Democratic in the 1998 elections. In its rush, the INS didn't check the fingerprints of many immigrants to see if they had criminal backgrounds." "What we did was get all the files, all the rap sheets. ... Then I had my staff sit down and go through those boxes. I said pick out 100 really bad crimes – rape, murder, home invasions, stuff like that, and just set them aside. In a box and a half, they had the hundred. We ignored DUI. We ignored anti-immigration charges," Schippers said. (cont) newsmax.com
