"The Whitewater controversy (also known as the Whitewater scandal, or simply Whitewater) began with investigations into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation, a failed business venture in the 1970s and 1980s."

Whitewater Convictions

Bill Clinton: You wanna be a part of our deal?

Nameless co-conspiritor: What if we get caught?

Hillary: We are going to be president someday, don't you know.

Nameless co-conspiritor: What if we get caught?

Clinton: It doesn't matter. Listen to the lady.

Nameless co-conspiritor: Yeah but, what if we get caught?

Hillary: We will never get caught.

Clinton: If you get caught I will give you a pardon. We good?

Yeah, I remember the Whitewater days. Bill and Hillary each had, I forget, but a goodly number of years of indictable offenses. Nothing ever stuck for them though. All their cohorts did time as you listed, but somehow the Clintons escaped. One of many times. . . They are so due. .
