>>re >Yet a very long and expensive investigation undertaken by an Independent Prosecutor failed to turn up any crimes except for lying under oath about an affair. < This is historic revisionism so blatant as to be obscene. There were 14 people convicted on 42 (by my quick count) counts for Whitewater alone, I'll let you look into Travelgate, hundreds of FBI files, Monicagate, etc. for yourself. Right now you owe Ken Starr a great big apology. I will not hold my breath while I wait.<< Fangorn - Allow me to clarify my statement. I was responding to the continuous references in this thread to crimes supposedly committed by Clinton. Starr's investigation failed to turn up any evidence sufficient to indict or impeach the President for any crimes, except for lying under oath about an affair. Most of the 14 people convicted of crimes in connection with Whitewater were referred to as "friend and business associates" of Bill Clinton. They were not members of his administration. I believe Nixon and Bush 1 set the records for numbers of actual administration members indicted for and convicted of real crimes. Bush's Secretary of Defense was indicted twice. Spiro Agnew had to resign. Nixon himself was the only President ever to resign. I do not condone Clinton's dishonest behavior, nor disagree that he embarassed our country. I just don't see how he can be seen to be the cause of everything that's wrong with our country today. The anti-Clinton mania continues unabated here. It's very convenient to have such a scapegoat, I suppose. - Allen
