I like the second part of your link:

" Some Republicans point to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton as they question why special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald felt a need to bring perjury charges against ex-White House aide "Scooter" Libby in the CIA leak case.

They note that independent counsel Robert Ray (he replaced Ken Starr) concluded that then-First Lady Clinton made "factually false" statements under oath about her role in Travelgate, but didn't charge her.

In fact, Ray claimed that Clinton had eight chats with top White House aides that contradict her claims of no Travelgate role.

Fitzgerald cites the exact same number of accounts that conflict with Libby's.

There was no basic crime in Travelgate — the Clintons had a right to fire travel staffers.

And Libby isn't charged with illegally outing CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson, nor does the indictment even claim that she was a covert agent. "

Are you saying Hillary shouldn't have been charged? The prosecutor let her off, and that's a bad precedent. I'm glad Fitz isn't following it -- so that next time Hillary lies to FBI or under oath it will be clearly established that she can't get away with it.
