Now that the Washington scandal machine has Bush in its crosshairs, it's time for the president to make sure the rules apply to both sides equally - and if that means prosecuting Bill and Hillary Clinton, so be it.
It certainly seems that one of the Bush administration's early decisions was to try to cool the political climate, and "move on". Doing so required letting Clinton and his crime family off the hook.
IMHO, this was a big mistake. For one thing, re-establishing the principal that even the President is not above the law is essential for our long-term survival as a nation. Second, thugs like the two Clintons and their cronies in Congress always interpret steps like Bush's as a sign of weakness. Weakness invites contempt and further attacks.
Now we have a second chance. I do not know if the investigations Bush closed can be re-opened. But I do know that Enron stinks, and that none of that stink has stuck to Bush. However, some of it clearly sitcks to Clinton. Bring it on.
It is about time for the law of unintended consequences to come back and bite the RATS, and this is one way to achieve that objective. If they push it and continue to overreach, the evidence will point to Clinton more than anyone else.
Wouldn't it be even more sweet if Clinton winds up behind bars by what the RATS do? I think that would be suh-weeeet!
See what I mean? This remains a pipe dream of too many on the right. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN.
I said, "Wouldn't it be even more sweet if Clinton winds up behind bars by what the RATS do?
Like I said, I'd love to see Clinton eventually brought to justice, but I don't lose sleep over it. Sometimes it's better to leave well enough alone.
Great article, fyi:

My "mentality" is the product of the facts of what Bush/Ashcroft have done, but I don't think it is defeatist.
Bush/Ashcroft shut down the campaign finance task force which was investigating the criminal corruption of the Clintons and their gang. It was investigating Chinagate, which means the corruption that damaged our national security.
As part of shutting down the investigation, Ashcroft sent Robert Conrad, the head of the task force who had told Reno to appoint an IC to investigate Gore, out of town to NC.
Most recently, Bush/Ashcroft allowed the CEO of Loral, who was the largest single contributor to the DNC at one time, to skate free while they fine the shareholders of the company for making China's missile program better.
What possible evidence is there that Bush is going to "unleash" the DOJ when he and Ashcroft have spent a fair amount of time this past year buying additional leashes?
I think it is the Bush crowd that is the defeatist bunch, convinced that they just can't succeed in doing what is right with respect to the Clintons' corruption. Sadly, for a whole bunch of people, its "Bush....right or wrong, Bush".

If Ford gets in bad trouble, it will shake things up worse than Enron. Might explain why the Ford family got back in the driver's seat. And, I ask, didn't he say he was going to do it without salary? Desperate to salvage just stock value?
Most recently, allowing Loral off with a limp slap on the wrist, which will be paid by the stockholders and not the guilty party. National security, as endangered by the Chinagate/campaign finance corruption is a far more dangerous and serious offense than Roger Clinton, but Bush/Ashcroft closed their collective eyes. I'm nowhere near forgiving Bush/Ashcroft for that.
This is about Clinton(s). The real damage occurred at Impeachment, Clinton walked and the Rats were able to say he did nothing wrong. The smear of foul ugly innocence sticks to our faces today. Purification for the conservatives will only be achieved in the public eye through due process.
