The RATS will use it every chance they get and Ray will have learned a lesson from them.

You are 100% correct, sir.

Play ball with the Rats and they shove the bat up your a$$ and then break it off.

Then they expect you to smile.

KNOWNOTHING VICTIMS RODHAM/CLINTON REVISITED
With President Clinton's encouragement, his half-brother, Roger, collected hundreds of thousands of dollars to lobby on behalf of as many as 13 people seeking presidential pardons and other favors, a key congressional panel has found. <snip>
 
The probe concluded that the former president and his administration repeatedly failed to properly check the backgrounds of people seeking pardons and <snip> permitted a culture that provided easy opportunities for relatives and close associates of the president to make money on the side by lobbying for clemency and other presidential favors for convicted felons...[R]equests bypassed the normal Justice Department review system and instead went directly to the Oval Office <snip>.
 
Roger Clinton could not be reached for comment. Bill Clinton has denied that pardons were for sale.<snip>
 
Congressional investigators found that the president's brother-in-law Hugh Rodham... suggested that former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton was also behind the commutation.<snip>
 
In addition <snip> Rodham, despite his public statements to the contrary, has returned less than one-fourth of the $204,000 fee that he said he had given back to the Vignali family.
 
The committee also determined that President Clinton granted a pardon to fugitive financier Marc Rich only after his sponsor, former White House Counsel Jack Quinn, went around the Justice Department. Quinn apparently did so on the advice of then-Deputy Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr., who was hoping to be elevated to attorney general if Al Gore was elected president, the report found. <snip>

"I did not have any involvement in the pardons that were granted or not granted," insisted Sen. KnowNothing, seeming to forget her presence at the New-Square/Oval-Office schmooze that secured pardons for the four Hasidic felons who set up a phony school in Brooklyn to swindle the government out of millions intended for the poor.

"Insufficient evidence exists to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that either Governor or Mrs. Clinton knowingly participated in the criminal financial transactions used by McDougal to benefit Whitewater," the report said.

I always think of Clinton with his smarmy use of the phrase, "There is no evidence" about whatever it was he was doing wrong at the moment. He and the dragonlady always make darn sure there is "no evidence."

To paraphrase others here...."Get over it...you lost this one"

Actually, you lost this one too. America lost this one, because these people have time and again not been prosecuted for their crimes against this country. What the heck sort of example is that? (Ah, but I see you're new here, so just why is it you are defending the creeps?)

Considering the amount of dirt the clintoons have on just about everybody (think 900 fbi files), it's no wonder they manage to get off scot-free.

Tomorrow's headline in the Newark Star-Ledger:

Senator Clinton throws support behind Robert Ray to replace Toricelli for US Senate.

My recollection is that they proved that Hillary drafted the fraudulent documents in which the bank did a phony land sale through Web Hubbell's relatives. Either she knew the scheme was fraudulent or she failed to ask why a relative of Hubbell's was skimming off all the profit from the phony pass through scheme.

She drafted the documents for the entire scheme, including the phony pass through. If she weren't first lady, she would probably have plead guilty to avoid jail.

There was no credible evidence of criminal activity in the White House's improper gathering of hundreds of FBI background files on Republican employees.

This is an outright LIE. First, Starr (and Ray) allowed the Whitehouse to keep HUNDREDS of FBI files, that EVERYONE acknowledged were ILLEGAL for them to have acquired in the first place, for YEARS after the Whitehouse, FBI and Starr's office had publically said they were returned. In other words, they all LIED to the public. Second, is Ray suggesting that Tripp and several others who testified about watching DNC operatives, under Hillary's direction, ILLEGALLY copying information from perhaps THOUSANDS of these PREDOMINANTLY REPUBLICAN FBI files into a Whitehouse (read DNC) database LIARS? If so, do believe him over Tripp? Even certain democRATS admitted that this was going on ... that the information was even being taken home on floppy disks an put on their home (read DNC) computers.

The truth is that Starr AND Ray conducted a SHAM investigation. Klayman, with a FRACTION of the resources, learned more about what happened in Filegate than these so-called INDEPENDENT Counsels ever did. Who do you think discovered that Filegate wasn't about a few hundred files but about THOUSANDS that were mostly all Republican? In fact, the IOC office for the most part didn't even bother to question many of the principles who were involved. They just "believed" Hillary and Bill's denials (not under oath, of course), I guess. And now Bush/Ashcroft are COMPLICIT.

Independent counsel says ‘insufficient evidence’ to prove Clintons involved in any wrongdoing

Yeah, no fooling, they shredded most of it!

If you want to whine about big-time wasted money, look no further than AIDS research and treatments for the natral retribution of sexual deviants.

You are correct, sir. I was in the business of supplying all those laboratory products to AIDS researchers in NYC....

I will always believe that the Clintons and their cronies belong in jail; and if there are any others out there; they do too. This is not about political parties; it's about cheap crooks and greed.

"This is not about political parties; it's about cheap crooks and greed."

Yes, and that's what I just Referenced. They Permeate BOTH Parties, and if people don't start looking at the maggots in BOTH Parties the cycle will never stop.

The info posted at the linked article should be read as the Reason nothing was done about the Clinton Crimes. But the need to be part of a "Party" overwhelms reason most of the time.

We have real men and women in charge now, and just in time!

Yes, real men and women are in charge just in time to sign Campaign Finance Reform, grant amnesty to illegal aliens and impose a 30% steel tariffs. Good thing the Republicans had Clinton on the ropes for two years or these things would have been enacted in 1999 not 2002.
