Thanks for the post. I've been curious as to how two people who entered the Presidency in 1992 without a pot to wiz in or a window to throw it out of (literally) could amass such a fortune after leaving office in just 6 years. Without ever owning a business or any other visible means of acquirering wealth other than by being paid back for political favors. Why hasn't some one brought this up. If it were a Republican, you'd hear the MSM screaming. Other than the Rose Law Firm, these people have never worked in the private sector. They worked for the Government. How else would they get these millions except throught the sale of political favors? Some one needs to investigate the Clintons. Our first "Mafia" President.

Our first "Mafia" President.

Even THE MOB disavowed them.... "My client had nothing to do with the low-rent, trailer-park trash politicians who infested our country for the past eight years." Michael Rosen, lawyer for Thomas Gambino, son of late Mafia boss Carlo Gambino New York Post via The Wall Street Journal (Michael Rosen was understandably eager to distance his client, a convicted loan shark, from the clintons. Another Thomas Gambino reportedly paid $50,000 to roger clinton in an unsuccessful effort to get a pardon for his father, Rosario Gambino.), _{It's not easy to play fair against Mr. and Mrs. Clinton, who, in the words of the authors, "operated like a crime family, expecting friends and aides to protect them even against their own best interests." What's amazing, of course, is that's exactly what Clinton friends and aides have always done, from Susan McDougal to Webster Hubbell to flocks of nameless White House special assistants. Even Jim McDougal died just in time to deprive the independent counsel of a key witness against Mrs. Clinton, thus derailing what the authors report to have been her likely indictment for perjury and obstruction related to the Whitewater investigation.... Reading the tumultuous events of the Lewinsky probe in a comprehensive narrative is unlike attempting to make sense of it in daily doses. Something different comes through the heavy accumulation of detail of, for example, the duplicity of the Justice Department, or the sharklike behavior of the White House. One begins to get a choking sense of the atmosphere of corruption and ruthlessness the Clintons inhabit -- and, worse, have forced the rest of us to inhabit. Taken in one piece, the habitual, even casual abuse of power on display begins to resemble conditions one normally associates with a state of totalitarianism, where such concepts as truth and justice are only paid lip service. In the end, then, it makes you wonder when there will be fresh air again. Crime-family values}
