Those Walsh indictments violated Justice Department guidelines because they were issued the weekend before the election and they were leaked to the Clinton campaign - all in an effort to illegally influence the election. Up to that point Bush was gaining and many think that act of a spiteful prosecutor gave Clinton the election. The was easily the greatest abuse by a prosecutor in recent US history.

Did you know that the indictments were so baseless that Bush negotiated the pardons with the Dems, who readily agreed with Bush rather than face an investigation of the Walsh-Clinton conspiracy.

I hope that Starr issues indictments right before this election so the Dems get an idea of what it feels like. Now he can cite precedence.

President-elect Bill Clinton, at a news conference in Little Rock, Ark., to announce his remaining Cabinet selections, said he wanted to learn more about the pardons, adding, "I am concerned by any action that sends a signal that if you work for the Government, you're beyond the law, or that not telling the truth to Congress under oath
is somehow less serious than not telling the truth to some other body under oath."


My how times have changed.
