I'm not sure how directly it will be proven that Clinton was involved in Filegate but I think it should be explored to see WHO was involved. I suspect Hillary's hands might not be clean. Remember, Chuck Colson went to prison for just ONE FBI file! As for Travelgate, I just read a point by point accounting of the events involving Billy Dale in the last day or two. It was a big deal. I'll see if I can find it and you judge for yourself. As I recall, the writer was well respected. UPDATE!!! Here it is and the author is Tony Snow, a well respected writer! Message 5895372

<<Travelgate always struck me as a big nothing.>> As i understand it, it's illegal to fire a civil service employee without cause, and the FBI (and a threat of the IRS) were used to show that there was cause. Of course, the charges against the Travel Office people turned out to be completely bogus. If it's true that the FBI and the IRS were used, it would be an impeachable abuse of power, IMHO. <<I think she made it up>> Funny thing about that - wasn't it Paula that told us about Clinton's leftward "leanings". Why hasn't that been pursued? It seems like Monica could clear this one up for us fairly easily, if anyone would believe her.
