>> You have leveled accusations of criminal activity against Clinton(bribery, corruption) and Dodd(bribery with respect to Countrywide). To name two. When asked for specifics, you wave your hands, sometimes pointing to speculation and/or hearsay instead of actual facts. I haven't been "asked for specifics" on either of these topics and you know damned well I LOVE an opportunity to point out the crimes of these two bastards. So, I have no idea what you're complaining about. There is no hearsay or speculation. We KNOW that Dodd received a below market loan from Countrywide while engaged in numerous activities that directly affected their operations. That's a bribe or at the very least the APPEARANCE of a bribe, which is either a crime or an ethical lapse, depending on how much benefit of doubt you care to give them. Clinton pardoned an individual, ON THE RECOMMENDATION OF ERIC HOLDER -- Clinton received a payoff from Rich's wife in the form of contributions for the trailerhouse in Little Rock, Holder did the job for him. Holder, by any reasonable standard should have been disqualified for his current office and to this day I don't understand the support he received from the likes of Lindsay Graham, an otherwise honorable man. So, there. Two sleazy criminals who got away with it. Three if you count Rich.
