The first federal prosecutor to probe the financial dealings of Bill and Hillary Clinton says he was poised to bring high-profile indictments against top Arkansas political and business figures based in part on testimony from a chief witness against the then president when he was abruptly replaced by a panel of federal judges, throwing his investigation into turmoil.
"I was angry, frustrated and above all disappointed that I was not going to be able to carry through and finish bringing the indictments," writes Robert Fiske, a former U.S. attorney who served as the original independent counsel in charge of the Whitewater investigation, in a forthcoming memoir, "Prosecutor Defender Counselor."
"The simplest way to put it, after I was replaced, the lawyers on the staff in Arkansas said the agents for the FBI and IRS were totally demoralized," Fiske said in the Yahoo News interview. "They thought we were on the brink of doing all these great things, and now that was not going to happen."

The Clinton’s strike again. Bonnie and Clyde in the White House. Pathetic...and democrats. Who knew? And When? Clinton and Obama, two of the worst administrations to assist in the decline and fall of the United States of America. They won’t teach that in the history books until a revolution of the Right occurs. Yawn.

On the upside for him, he lived to tell about it and didn’t succumb to an unfortunate “accident.”

The “Whitewater Files” link from the Drudge Report is how I found Free Republic in 1997. The fact that in the end, Bill and Hillary skated free forever jaded my view of politics and justice in America.

You are right this information will have the impact of a fart in a hurricane.

The link between the Democrats and organized crime is long standing. Harry Truman, whom some conservatives consider admirable, was a lackey of the Prendergast political machine in Kansas City, which in turn had strong ties to the local Mafia. John F. Kennedy, another Democrat posthumously christened as a conservative by some, was the son of Joseph Kennedy, a Prohibition era rum runner who was an associate of East Coast organized crime families. The younger Kennedy and his brother turned on the Mafia after he became President, an act that has fueled conspiracy theories about his assassination.
The Clintons are just another set of criminals in the old Democrat tradition, with links to both the Chicago "outfit" (to whom Obama has ties, e.g. Tony Rezko) and the Dixie (Cowboy) Mafia.

I think I was on a Whitewater news group that constantly referenced Free Republic in early ‘98.

They skated free and are now sharpening those skates for Act II. After-all they're dead broke.

Either that, or they’re getting it out-of-the-way before campaign season begins.
By then it will be “old news.”
First Pinetta. Now Fiske. Wonder who is next?
To: Cowboy Bob
If the media would do their job and publicize the scandals, Hilary’s corrupt record would take her out on its own.
