truther, this is such an important public question. But I have to tell you, my sense of the Bush administration suggests that neither President Bush nor his Justice Department is going to go after Clintonian miscreants any time soon.

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.

FReegards, Ms. boop, but appearances are often deceiving and I think you will come to understand that Dubyuh is simply biding his time, and letting the Anger of the American Sheeple come to a boil before Striking Out and Destroying Der SchleekMeister!! Be patient with Dubyuh on this...and focus yer outrage on the apparently-Spineless AG Ashcroft!!

Rudy Guiliani would make an EXCELLENT Attorney General, dont'cha think?!

If that is Bush's reason for inaction, then he's got it exactly backwards; it is precisely the failure to bring the clintons to justice that has tarnished and continues to tarnish "the reputation and dignity of the United States."
Personally, I think Bush's failure to address clinton corruption is capitulation to implicit clinton blackmail, much like senate capitulation during clinton's impeachment.
Until the clintons are discredited formally and brought to justice or until we restock the D.C. swamp, the two miscreants will be able to maintain their stanglehold on our government with those 900 FBI files...


Schippers, who was hired by House Judiciary Chairman Henry Hyde (R-Ill.) as chief investigative counsel for the impeachment, labels the process one of "lies, cowardice, hypocrisy, cynicism, amorality, butt-covering."

Schippers Book May Rock Senate

...The House Managers were real heroes. Trent Lott stabbed them in the back. They were not allowed to argue their case or to present any witnesses. Regardless of the final vote, one hundred (100) senators agreed from the start to go along with the bogus rules dreamed up by Lott and Daschle. That ended any possibility of a fair trial based on the evidence. They all broke their oaths of office and their trial oaths by doing this.

--Cicero

Historians will record that Republicans could not muster the necessary sixty-seven vote Senate majority to convict the President at trial.

Those same historians should note, if only in a footnote, that not a single senator made the trip to the Ford Building to review documentation of Clinton's "nauseating", "alarming" and "horrific" sexual misconduct; evidence that ultimately made the difference in the impeachment vote.

America's Impeachment Secret

Well, with the help of the 100 corrupt and cowardly cullions, clinton
walked. The senators' justification for their acquittal votes requires
the suspension of rational thought (and, in the curious case of Arlen
Specter, national jurisdiction).
