Hi Who, me?; Wonder why nobody seems to be talking about how Kathleen Willey asked for an ambassadorship. Maybe she got the idea from that VRWC, the same place that Monica got the idea? I suppose that Gennifer Flowers got the idea to ask for (and get) a government job from the same group. This claim of entrapment is silly beyond belief. Clinton's Modus Operandi is to bed em, and buy em. It didn't start with Monica. Maybe Monica was so silly that she didn't see the power that she had in the relationship. But those other women were smart enough to figure out what quid pro quo means. (Maybe I'm in a Latin kind of mood right now. I've been reading the Decline and Fall of Roman Empire, and have now got to the part where he describes the slow changes to Roman law. Interesting stuff.) Finding charges, with which to convict heads of criminal conspiracies, is never easy. That's why they got Al Capone on tax evasion, instead of murder. Murder would have been a lot better, but sometimes the prosecution just has to take what it can get. Suggesting that Ken Starr's searches have been pointless when he has put so many powerful people in jail, is kind of silly, too. Hasn't he out produced every independent counsel before him in terms of jail sentences applied? In these kinds of investigations the highest always fall last. The reason is that you have to get evidence from the people that you convict on the way to the top. The little guys are the ones who know where the bodies are buried. This should not be a surprise. Does anybody think that the White House has told their illegal operatives to "tell everything about what you have done to Ken Starr?" Of course not, the White House has done nothing but delay, smear and impede. Here's a question for the partisans: Is Clinton trying to find wrong-doers in his staff? Or is he ignoring it? As an answer, please provide me with the names of the people in the Clinton White House who have lost their jobs due to actions that the White House, rather than the press or congress or the judiciary, discovered and publicized. In other words, please find one piece of evidence that the Clinton White House has ever intended to have high moral standards. And as long as we are getting back to the subject, show me where in the transcripts the Clinton White House thought about the moral justification for sliming innocent people, or giving out government jobs for silence, or misleading under oath, or lying to the public, or etc. It seems to me that their only consideration was the polls. They gave no consideration for law, ethics or morality. -- Carl
