Take a look back at history. Specifically The Pentagon Papers.
The Nixon Administration, went to EMBARASSING legnths to keep the from being printed, including the intrusion to Ellsbergs Psychiatrist.
How is this Important/Instructive....
Because the Rand Corporation study, was a product of the JOHNSON administration, but Nixon went to the mat to protect the Office Of the Presidency itself, regardless of the right/or wrong of who was in it.
This is further evidenced by Nixon going to DC for a PhotoOp with JFK, after he stole the election, to show support after Kennedy botched the Bay of Pigs.
GWB and this administration, is not protecting Clinton, he is protecting the Office. this needs to be understood, because he takes a lot of flack for not chasing Satans spawn down like the worm that he is...
