Win Smith RE..The House did not impeach on Whitewater, Harry<<<<< I was responding to Scumbrias statement below. The House had every opportunity to impeach Clinton on Whitewater, based on Starr's evidence. They didn't.<<< If we are going to say the Starr report didn't include Whitewater offenses, then Scumbria statement that the house had every opportunity to impeach on whitewater would also be incorrect in that Starr never did file a report on the Whitewater part of his investigation. I was responding to the first part of Scumbrias statement, which was "The house had every opportunity to impeach" part. The house did impeach Bill, it was not for Whitewater. I stand corrected. Do you feel better now? <<<<<<For entertainment, some day you might want to look up how much money went down the tubes in the S&L fiasco, versus how much went down with McDougal's crummy little S&L. For a simpler comparison, you might want to check how much money it cost to bail out Neil Bush's S&L, and how much cheaper it would have been if it had been cleaned up before Neil & W's father was safely elected, instead of afterwards. <<<<<< As far as I know, neither McDougals nor Neil bushes S&L debacles were a part of whitewater. The fact that McDougal's saving and loan went broke is incidental. For the record though, I heard the S&L debacle cost the taxpayers officially around $200 billion and unofficially around $300 billion. Certainly all taxpayers would have been better off if the S&L mess had been cleared up sooner. I personally had nothing to do with it. You might also want to compare how much money was spent investigating Whitewater, versus the much bigger fish that cost us much, much more. <<<< I am not sure what you are saying here. Usually the term "bigger fish" denotes the power of the people involved; not the size of the crime. As far as I know the president of the country is the biggest fish there is in the Us.
