I say this sincerely and without any ill will toward you.
My sense of the reason for the hesitancy: It's not because President Bush minds so much the tarnishing of an American public figure -- whom the brain dead of American society seem to regard as a brilliant politician and leader. (Yeah, maybe just like the German people regarded Hitler as a "leader" circa 1939.)
My sense of President Bush's "prosecutorial reluctance" is this: He won't tarnish a single soul, no matter how much that "soul" might "objectively deserve it," if it means that the reputation and/or dignity of the United States might subsequently be tarnished by such disclosure. (And Clinton can take that to the bank. Unfortunately.)
Bill Clinton is the "idiot cousin" that (let's face it) no serious chief executive would want to acknowledge as his predecessor if he can possibly help it.
Bill Clinton -- the richly talented political sourcerer of late twentieth-century America -- is such an embarrassment to this administration (not to mention thinking, reasoning adults in general), and to the national public order when you boil it all down, that Bush would do practically anything (within reason and justice) to keep the Clinton name out of the public consciousness. (I can only hope the president is willing to extend this antipathy to Clinton's hideous wife.)
Well, that's my take on the problem, anyhoot. FWIW. best to you, bb.
Judicial Watch has been anti-Bush since the fall of last year.
They aligned themselves with Gore in the Florida courts trying to get a recount to overturn the election results.
They have filed ethics complaints against Cheney, DeLay, the RNC, Haskert, and other conservatives. All were frivilous.
They have never won a case. Most of their cases get thrown out of court before trial. In fact, I can't think of any case they have even been able to get to trial.
They seem to protect each other. My take on this is that either can destroy the other. In a just world, BOTH Bush Sr. and Clinton would be doing time.
But we all know it's not a just world: LBJ never served time either....
Mudboy!! Thought you would like to see this.
