You still don't know what you're talking about. You said, "Bill Clinton did in fact enter into a plea bargain where he admitted breaking the law." This is a lie. Bill Clinton never entered into a plea bargain. That's a simple fact that anyone (except you apparently) can look up. A plea bargain is where the defendant pleads to something. Clinton was never charged and has never pleaded to anything. That is a fact. Your statement is false. Clinton also never admitted to breaking the law. He admitted to making false statements. That's not the same as breaking the law. (perjury, like outing a covert agent, is a complex law with more than one part to it). And the fact is he was never charged with breaking any law and he never admitted to breaking any law. Those are facts. Your statement above is simply untrue. It's just like the Scooter Libby case. Libby did reveal the name of a covert CIA agent to reporters. But that isn't the same as breaking the law against outing covert agents. The law is more complicated than that. Just as Libby was never charged with violating that particular law, Clinton was also never charged with violating any law. It's the same principle for both men. Yet you only seem willing to apply it to one. And it's Libby, the one who was in fact charged with and convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice. Are only some men innocent until proven guilty?
