It's like the mutual assured destruction of the Cold War. Obama had plenty of dirt to smear the Clintons. In the Clintons case they would have gone to prison for life. Obama merely would have said, “I'm sorry!”, and gone back to his day job as Senator.
And....I bet they threatened Chelsey. Please remember that Bill Gwatney, a close friend of Bill and Hillary Clinton and a Clinton super delegate at an upcoming convention in Denver and was fatally shot in 2008. He was likely a warning.
Hill and Bill did as they were told because they knew their wealth could disappear in a matter of a few months, leaving them broke and indicted. Ultimately Hill and Bill are not patriots so we ought not expect them to actually love America more than their power over it.
OR he was a confident of WJC and knew too much as was going to turn Hill/Billy in....Weren’t there forty or more people dead in their wake?...It’s a habit with them.
