Let's see. Which foreign country has clinton run to this time, as he does to escape being here each time more bad news comes out about him? I seem to remember that it's Australia this week. Guess they don't want him in China.

"WE know this but why is he not in Jail"???

Well, the article says "The report has no legal weight" and also because Elected Republicans don't want to appear as Evil as the Democrats REALLY are,which is unnecessary,when you have a wimp like Trent Lott in charge,who's never been angry/passionate about anything in his life.I think he missed out on 'debate class' in High School.Why it took 480 pages is beyond me, if only for historical purposes,for which I'm grateful.I never thought we'd get to read anything other than Barbara Olsens FANTASTIC book myself.Bring the book on!

Article 2 Section 4. "The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

I don't think an ex-prez can be impeached.

...to be released on Thursday,...

All the dirt on Clinton is released for a Friday news pick up. by Monday everyone has forgotten.

"The Republicans are just as dirty...nothing will ever be done. America's Justice System..is just a system."

And we have known for a long time that money eases the way through the justice system. Nobody gets to be president without lots of that stuff (money) behind them.

As long as we deny, excuse or wink at the corruption of our own party, we will do nothing to end (or minimize) corruption in politics. Sad to say - as long as we blame Clinton for everything we are not going to get a more responsible, honest government.

[Bullish]

I'm praying for the Republicans to gain control of the Senate so someone with cojones will step forward to offer a bill to strip the "great stainmaker' of his pension.

Name even just ONE Senator with "cojones". I can't think of a single one.

They're all, every last one of them, members of the screw America out of its money club.

[ImpBill]

Geez what an astute Congress we have. 14 months later they acknowledge that "Clinton Abused Power". Doesn't that just inspire you. Need an emoticon for head shaking in disbelief. /;-O

[tillacum]

Well I am so SHOCKED, SHocked, shocked. So what will be done about it??????? NOTHING! Most of us knew when Ray took over the special councels position, NOTHING would be found to indict or convict this group. They keep dribbling out information that isn't worth squat. Nothing will be done to clean it up, nothing will be done to correct what has been done. This group of crooks will walk free and spit on our laws, just as they have been doing for the past 21 plus years, since he was elected Attny Gen of Arkansas.

[ImpBill]

I really am working hard not to get sarcastic with you. So I will just remind you the Republicans had control of the Senate when their < choke>leader Lott < /choke> decided not to have a "real trial" for the Impeached one.

What makes you think the RepublicRATS would do any different in the Senate had they another opportunity?

It is good to have hope, but yours borders on psychotic faith. The Pubes are at best only marginally better or different than the cRATS, especially in the "good ole boy joke of a Senate"..

Because this is nothing but Non-news. This is something that the media can print but never discuss on TV, or develop into anything. Clinton will never rot in a jail, or hang for treason, he's always going to be that snake that rears it's head to let us know what is really going on in the world. He's a pinko socialist who was groomed in Russia during Vietnam to help Socialism become the world standard.

Clinton will never do time, nor will there ever be charges brought against him until our government is ours again. Our government isn't ours, it's the governemnt of who offers up the most cash for their re-election campaign. It's all a damn lie, and you know what's the worst part about it? We all pretend like it isn't really this way, like our votes matter. Our votes might was well be toilet paper because our rights are being flushed away to make it easier for the One Worlders to create their socialist utopia. Again, maybe it's me, but that's really what is going on. The only way that we will every fix the problems in government, is starting anew.

FYI, all 467 pages of the draft report are online... Justice Undone: Clemency Decisions in the Clinton White House

[ladyinred]

he liberals will say "Well if he did do anything wrong why wasn't he prosecuted."

I am sure you recall how during the impeachment hearings the libs were calling for letting Clinton serve out his Presidency and then afterwards if he were guilty of any crime , prosecute him.
When he left office, the battlecry changed to "move on, he is out of office now, blah, blah, blah. Smoke and Mirrors.

[Samizdat]

LOL!

[lilylangtree]

This information has been known since Clintoon left office. However, how many mainstream newspapers will pick up the story and run it? How many partisan democrazies will take steps to hush this up?

"There is no proof of any wrongdoing by the president in this report, although Lord know they try to make you think differently."

I think the fact that Mark Rich got a pardon and Clinton got a $1 million donation to his presidential library from Denise Rich is ipso facto proof aplenty of bribery, sufficient to pass muster in a court of law I would guess.

"but it still does my heart good to think that there could be another impeachment hanging over his head."

I just looking out my window for flying pigs. lol
