As the media goes on-and-on about the most secretive White House in US history (Bush), these people completely ignored what was one of the largest purges in Presidential history. The Gorelick "wall" was only a couple bricks in a larger wall that was set up to protect Clinton...and in the process, left America, unprotected.

While most people here know that Clinton fired all US Attorneys in 1993, many may not know that he also fired all the Inspector Generals. The Inspectors General of the different government agencies are the ethics and crime watchdogs. During the Clinton administration, they, as well as the respective general counsels, were replaced with loyal cronies answering no longer to the people of the United States but to the White House Counsel's office.

No one was safe from the Clinton purges, as Billy Dale discovered at the Travel Office. From the CIA, FBI, DEA, IRS, State Department and Pentagon, career government employees were replaced with loyal Clinton cronies who practically took an oath to Clinton. Even his Cabinet was made up of individuals, who perhaps, could be manipulated, because of their own past histories and inabilities to even manage their own departments.

There wasn't a person in this administration who wasn't subject to blackmail or repercussions if s/he didn't toe the bosses line. Which leads to Craig Livingstone and the 900+ FBI files...and Clinton's own secret police, led by Terry Lenzner, Jack Palladino and his boys from IGI. The disgusting truth is, this wasn't only the most secretive administration in history, it was the most corrupt...and we will be paying for it for years to come.

This is a very well done synthesis in a couple page article - I read it carefully and it is great. But I've got this nagging thought that there is something pretty critical that missing from this - something regarding an action taken by the 'Toon right near the start of his administration that seems to play into this stuff... but I can't get my mind around it right now...
