I guess I just don't see the Independent Counsel Law as defining of the right of the investigative process that grand juries have. Scope yes, but not process. Certainly there is irony in the fact the newer version of the law was passed under the Clinton Administration, and I would agree that it may well be a form of ironic justice if he is brought down by it.

But I am surprised that you don't see this pursuit as becoming excessive, when they start fishing into areas that begin to abridge all of our rights.

Former Clinton counsel Lanny Davis was on Nightline and he said that he and other Dems wrote and then supported the IC statute when it was applied against Republican presidents. But now that there is a Dem president, he sees flaws.

So the construct is that IC is good against Reps and bad against Dems. Shocking how brazenly transparent they are, is it not?
