Does everybody get caught? Do all prosecutors work with the same level of aggressiveness or lackadaisical fortitude? Is it fair to people who go unprosecuted that others go prosecuted? There are many areas on which a successful conviction can be thwarted. Politics. Jury selection. Judge.

Equity fits when two people get caught for the same crime. Some go free. Some get prosecuted. Clinton's been rather persistent in his obstruction and lies and attack philosophy. I'd have much less of a problem seeing someone conducting his 'defense' in Clinton's manner get sent to jail than someone who was forthcoming.

Clinton should have just admitted it when it came out. It probably wouldn't have affected the Jones' case. Of course, Clintons are still hiding behind the pretense that he has a reputation to protect and so chose to stonewall and obstruct as they have with other investigations. What a joke of a person. He still spouts the empty rhetoric of "working hard for people who work hard and play by the rules..." as recently as two weeks ago. He's no substance and all hypocritical rhetoric.

I'm well aware that the Democrats and Republicans have been engaged in trench warfare for the last 30 years. This is no different from Metzenbaum's machinations behind the Anita Hill affair.
