I missed that earlier post from DScottD. Thanks for pointing it out. He's dead wrong of course. ANY investigation is by its very nature a one-sided proposition. The prosecutor follows leads to build facts which lead to any indictment. The investigation has dragged on only because of Clinton White House stonewalling tactics such as withholding subpoenaed documents, amnesia when testifying, ridiculous assertions of privilege, improper influence on witnesses (buying them off), smearing the prosecutors office, etc. If the White House actually cooperated in the investigation as they professed to, the investigation would long be over. They have not. It is obvious they have not. The IC is not conducting a "witch hunt", he is trying to conduct an investigation which is stymied at every turn by the man who swore to uphold and defend our Constitution. That's what you and DScottD should be concerned about. We have a President who has no concern for our Constitution or the office he was elected to serve. Show me how the IC has violated the Constitution or how this investigation differs from any other criminal investigation (other than the obvious high profile status). It doesn't. The rotten smell you detect is not coming from the IC's office, its coming from the White House. JLA

>>I've sorta noticed that about the vast right-wing conspiracy folk. No sense of humor! I must agree, the people who talk about "the vast right-wing conspiracy folk" have absolutely no sense of humor. But then again, they are good Freudians who know that Freud taught that humor is a just social mask for contempt and hostility towards its subject. No wonder Clinton and his defenders are THE subject of humor nationally. And no wonder they can't see how funny it all is. Btw, did you see that Bebe Rebozo died? He was smeared for years by the Media and he won a retraction by the Washington Post. I guess he didn't deserve sympathy because he wasn't a felon or didn't flee the country or take the Fifth like so many of Slick's friends. Two years later, as the Watergate scandal was gathering momentum, the Washington Post carried a story asserting that Rebozo, through his Key Biscayne Bank, had "cashed $91,500 in stolen stock in 1968." He vigorously denied this and sued the Post for libel, demanding $10 million. The case was settled out of court in 1983, with the Post agreeing to print his denial in full. As the scandal surrounding the break-in at Democratic campaign headquarters in the Watergate office complex evolved into the discovery of a White House coverup, Rebozo became a target of Senate officials and federal prosecutors investigating Watergate. In 1975 the Justice Department concluded there was "no basis for indictment" on accusations that Rebozo had converted Nixon campaign contributions to personal use. nytimes.com See what the Post omits: Mr. Rebozo also took the offensive against what he felt were unfair Nixon critics, especially in the media. In 1978, he unsuccessfully sued The Washington Post for libel. washingtonpost.com Btw2, Stewart Taylor reported today on Fox Sunday Morning that it was the White House (again) that leaked the decision on executive privilege and then blamed it on Starr as part of their smear campaign. Hopefully the court will sanction the Clintonistas this time.
