Tangentially at best. But Bill and Hill were major "rapers" as you say. The Clinton greed and corruption is unparalleled.

I shouldn't get into this again, but there are two main, interrelated Bush angles. Neil Bush was a director of the Silverado S&L in Colorado, which failed to the tune of $2 billion or so. There's long been speculation that this was a big reason that the S&L cleanup didn't start until just after George H. W. Bush was elected president, despite the problems being known for years before. Of course, I've always said everybody in Washington was up to their necks in the S&L cesspool, but the regulatory agency was in the executive branch. There was also a fairly minor episode involving current Florida governor Jeb, who was involved in an office building development that defaulted on a 8-figure S&L mortgage, then bought the building back from the Resolution Trust company for maybe 10% of the amount of the bad loan.
