<<You don't know if that is fact -- just your spin on it.>>

This is the crux of this whole issue. Travelgate, Filegate, Chinagate, all the conspiracy theories, etc. add up to circumstantial evidence that the Clinton administration was somewhat less than squeaky clean. However, as Cox said about the transfer of technology to China, unless there was a tape that showed that someone said "gosh, we know we shouldn't give this to China, but that's just soooooo much money....", there is no way to prove anything. That doesn't mean nothing happened. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you <g>. Just as Michael doesn't know "it" for a fact, you don't know "it" is a lie, either. That's just your spin on it.

Ann, what is really amazing to me is that after all the abuses, all the lying, all the corruption, all the scandals, and all the evidence, there are still people like yourself who can't or won't see through this charletan.

The latest shock and dismay by the Clinton faithful over his zippergate episode came as no surprise to me. The President is as transparant as they come.

I have very little doubt that he knew about the illegal campaign contributions from the communist government of China. I also have very little doubt that it helped them gain sensitive rocket technology.

It's treason as far as I'm concerned, and he should be booted for it alone.

Michael
