As late as it is in the day, and with as many O'Reilly fans as we have here, I'm surprised not to find this already posted.

How is this article so disinteresting?

Whether you agree, or disagree, it would seem worthy of comment.

[editor-surveyor]

Have we grown so calloused that such accusations roll off like water off of a ducks back?

Have the Clinton years reset the index level of outrage?

O'Reilly had better let the air out of his head soon. His uninformed "opinion" of Ashcroft's job performance is a shame. His interview with Geraldo was embarassing also. He did everything but reach over his desk to kiss him. C'mon O'Reilly, get your back on the ground!!

It seems clear the Department of Justice was almost totally corrupted under Reno and the investigations of many members of the Republican Party are being held by some of the corrupt members of that party in order to keep the Democrat Party from being fully exposed.

I am in total agreement with Bill O', this time.

[browardchad]

While Congress is attempting to get documents about President Clinton's dubious foreign fundraising and FBI abuses in Boston, Ashcroft is refusing to cooperate at all

Reading this, you would think O'Really is an anti-Clinton crusader. Listening to his show, time after time he lets pro-Clinton spinmeisters spew their lies without argument. The guy's schizophrenic -- he started comparing Ashcroft to Reno immediately after he was sworn in -- he was grumbling about his 401K before Bush took office, and now he blames the recession on Bush -- I guess this is what happens when you have no real convictions, except the quest for ratings.

Hillary must still be holding the FBI files in her closet.

I'm surprised to find this not already posted.

See this thread. Good article, though.

Supplying our enemys or (potential ones) with the wealth and inventory to start another war or economic catastrophe is the only explaination that makes any logical sense. Although it is incredibly hard to believe by the naive.

Thanks for the ping. O'Reilly may be an obnoxious s.o.b. but he has no sacred cows.

There are moments that I have doubts about the current DOJ leadership, but these are tempered by my belief that if the total truth was know about the Clinton administration there might very well be chaos in this country. I suspicion that the degree of foreign government infiltration and the embedded government bureaucrats who are dedicated to their own anti-U.S. agenda are such that the whole truth cannot be told at this time, if ever.

One of the comments on this thread that I believe has real merit is the one that says bureaucrats are CYA motivated--which they are. It will take years to root out the rot that has permeated our leadership down to the local levels. And it isn't limited to one party--witness Jeffords, a prime example of the "deep cover" of some of these people. Why can't we have a law that says an elected official must stand for re-election immediately if he/she changes parties?

O'Reilly sees something that is obvious to those who have their eyes open. Republicans are just as dirty as Democrats. Let's do an exercise.

There are only two possibilities concerning Clinton: He's innocent or guilty of the things he was accused of. If he is innocent, then the Republicans in congress would have been aware of it and should have ended the "politics of personal destruction." The fact they didn't is damning.

On the other hand, if Clinton was guilty of even one of the many egregious things he's been accused of (my personal belief is he's guilty of all), then the Republicans who were in power should have convicted him after impeachment, or impeached him on many other things. At the very least, failing this due to lack of information, the investigation should have continued. The fact that this didn't happen is also damning, and the fact that Ashcroft appears to be obstructing further attemtps to get to the truth is even more damning. This is what is setting O'Reilly off.

To tell the truth, I feel lost. As a conservative, I can't abide the Democrats, don't agree with many of the Libertarian positions on drugs, abortion, etc. I feel completely let down by the Republicans which have been elected to office. What can we do? All I want is a little justice.

What I still do not understand is that the Justice Dept, in just a few months, has been very successful
in tracking down the terrorist organizations.
However almost a year later nothing has been done about klinton, hitlrey or anyone involved with Chinagate.
Now reno is running for office
and if hitlrey ends up running in '04 for President it will be because this Justice Dept failed to do it's job.

[bimmer]

Pithy bump for O'Reilly!

[Great Dane]

It has been strange watching the new administration tip-toe around all these unanswered questions.

[XJarhead]

Why in the world would John Ashcroft be interested in covering up for Reno and Clinton? That Ashcroft-bashers need to come up with a reasonable explanation for that. Otherwise, this story just smells.

[Eva]

I didn't comment on this immediately because I think that O'Reilly sometimes bends over backward in his attempt to appear fair and balance.

My gut feeling is that Bush doesn't want to discuss the past, including the Clintons because he knows that the liberal media will immediately take the opportunity to push Clinton to the forefront of the news. The Clintons are basicly irrelavant right now, and I for one, would like to keep them that way.

[markn]

Clinton with a Reno hair-cut.

[Saundra Duffy]

I heard O'Reilly's rant on this. Good grief! If John Ashcroft weren't there, we'd probably all be dead. For victory & freedom!!!
