>>The fact remains that more members of the first Bush administration were convicted of crimes than were members of the Clinton administration.

Only convictions mean anything. Fascists and Communists consider an indictment the same as a conviction.
What is the source of the fact you claim above. <<

TW -

Only Fascists and Communists consider an indictment the same as a conviction? Why, then, do people on this very thread continue to say that Bill Clinton was guilty of crimes? Was Clinton even indicted for anything? Wasn't he acquitted in his impeachment trial?

By the way, if you read my statement, it says "convictions". And my source is the public record of the Iran Contra hearings, trials and convictions. Perhaps you are too young to remember that, but it was quite a scandal.

And do look up the history of the Nixon administration. Lots of indictments. Lots of convictions. Both a Vice President and a President forced to resign because of overwhelming evidence of illegal activity.
