Aligehri Re...<<<< There is a good reason for that, Bill is probably the crookedest president in history...

Really? And what illicit activity was he convicted of after years of special prosecutor investigations? <<<<


First off, no president in american history has been convicted of anything, so being convicted isn't the litmus test. Secondly, many people who commit crimes don't get convicted in a short time. Can you say Al Capone,who murdered, lied, and stole as head of crime gang for 10 yrs, while defying the FBI; and he didn't have the advantage of being president and using govt. resources to cover up investigation. Can we also say OJ and Menendez brothers for other examples. Bill however did lie in court, which is a crime, and it appears he will be disbarred for that. Denying that he had anything to do with Monica, and then blaming the republicans, and wasting govt. resources to defend a lie should be a crime if it isn't. Taking bribes(donations) from foreign powers should be a crime; renting out govt. property and using proceeds for personal use (White house stays) should be a crime; letting big donors give classified material to foreign powers for donations should be a crime. The list seems to be endless.

You also probably are alluding to govt. investigation of Whitewater. However 10 people were convicted of crimes relating to Whitewater. Hillery was the lawyer, (and investor, talk about conflict of interest),didn't turn over the papers for the investigation, and was able to cover her end up. That makes her a good lawyer for being able to cover her a**, but that doesn't make her innocent, morally or legally.
