<<In this case control of the DOJ assets, power, and budget belongs the Republicans and Starr, since they decide how long his mandate and budget run.>> Wrong. Reno can fire him at any time. Are you also contending that Archibald Cox and the wealthy Democrat Congress used DOJ assets to run an illicit investigation of Nixon? If so, were the Democrats responsible for the Saturday night massacre in which Cox and aides were fired? I don't think so. <<No normal rules of evidence, procedure, or relevance are being applied here by the Republicans. Nor is Clinton being given the usual presumption of innocence or any of the other usual trappings of english common law. To have probable cause someone has to have already at least been willing to detail a charge in an articulate way, something the Republicans even at this stage seem unwilling to do.>> Wrong again. Some Democrats thought the charges were articulate. <<All this is about is you guys have wanted for 6 years to burn the 'liberals' (whoever isn't you is a liberal) at the stake...you couldn't get him on procedural issues like filegate and travelgate.>> There you go again. While the idea of a good old stake burning is, I confess, a concept not without a certain attractiveness (ggg, ok?), I certainly wouldn't call filegate a "procedural issue". Is that how you'd characterize Chinagate too? I guess it won't be Larry Flynt or his buddy Carville who finally outs Hillary on the hiring of Craig Livingstone. It's really a thousand laughs that nobody in the "most ethical administration in history" can own up to bringing on board those two great plumbers, the inestimable Mr. Livingstone and his partner in crime, Mr. Marseca.
