No, I'm not drawing that conclusion precisely. I think that we have a responsibility as a society to ensure that the law is applied evenly and fairly, and clearly with respect to the President it has not been. For example, under normal circumstances we have rules against using evidence that is illegally obtained (fruit from the forbidden tree) and rules against self-incrimination. Those rules have been thrown out the window in Starr's investigation. Starr's investigation is off-the-charts in terms of going after a target, using possibly illegal and certainly unethical means to trap the POTUS. Sure, the President made crucial mistakes, but they are not criminal except under the most technical/legalistic application of the laws. If everyone was put under the kind of scrutiny that the Clintons have undergone with the same strict reading of the laws, I'm quite sure 90-95% of us would be in jail with a felony to our names. I believe that most Americans do not want that kind of witchhunt that Starr is conducting and I believe his investigation is wrong. Doughboy.
