<<<Ken Starr is going to file a report to Congress where he'll just talk about any ol' thing he pleases. "How're you guys doin' up there? By the way, the Porterhouse Steak at the Capitol Grill is Deeee-licious." Don't be a chucklehead. Of course he's going to detail crimes that he believes that deserve impeachment; why else would he file an interim report with Congress? >>>

You know, you aren't only boring but you're just plain silly. Ken Starr is charged with reporting ALL the facts not just those that he deems MIGHT be impeachable offenses. It has long been common knowledge that the Ken Starr report can exonerate the President as well as condemn him and it is strictly against the law for the independent council to withhold information that could lead to such an exoneration or condemnation. You can bet your bottom dollar if the Clinton's thought for a second that the Ken Starr case could exonerate them they would be trumpeting for another 55.643 million dollars to get it released. Oh and by the way, could you and the Democrats decide what the investigation has cost so far? One minute it is 30 million, ten minutes later it is 40, five minutes before that it is 60 million then one minute later it is 55.643. But what really befuddles me is why it is that Democrats care about how much money Ken Starr spends. Since when have they ever cared about taxpayer money being spent? That'll be the day.

<<<What is the "truth" except the accusation that the President broke the law.>>>

Sigh...some people never learn. Listen up chowderhead, an investigation is not held strictly to prove wrong-doing but to find out what the truth is. The OIC is enlisted when wrong-doing is suspected. When such incidents occur then he shall investigate and report all evidence. He investigates until all evidenciary material has been reviewed and he submits that to Congress. What do you think happens if he doesn't find illegalities? He just says to Congress "Sorry guys, uhhh, I investigated but since I didn't find anything concrete well I just didn't see any sense in writing a report on it and threw out any evidence that exonerated the President". Anyone who thinks the independent council can somehow segregate impeachable from unimpeachable offenses in his report or deem evidence to be one way or another is delusional. Likewise anyone who thinks that an independent council can withhold evidence because he doesn't think it is an impeachable offense is equally numb in the head.

The "truth" can also be that the president committed no illegalities. But all this is academic because your boy is going down and he is going down hard regardless of how many bombs he drops on Islamic fundamentalists. And even if some miracle from "his God" were to occur this president will be the laughing stock of presidential politics for generations to come. Now pull up a chair, grab a fork and dig into your crow pie.

Just middle of the road type of scandals, and definitely far from the worst ever. Nevertheless, he got caught or did not know how to conceal it, or just a great drama for the news media and the Republicans to play upon. And now, for the conclusion, let's exhale him out of the White House. That would be a great finale, wouldn't it? Then we can all inhale deeply and exhale a big relief.
