"Prosecutable" is key, because, having studied law myself, I know there is a lot of lawbreaking which due to cost/benefit of prosecuting, standards of evidence and etc. just are routinely not prosecuted--letting God work things out... On provable really serious matters however, I'm confident Ashcroft will come through. And I say that as someone with libertarian views who sometimes really disagrees with the man.
Clinton was a corrupt small poor state governor who made it big, due to the inneptness of other Democrats at the time... How deep and wide his presidential corruptions were, are coming, and will come to light sooner or later. I suspect he will be seen as a Warren Harding of the Dems in a few years hence.
Republicans and conservatives we must have confidence in our American system and avoid conpiratorial thinking!
It seems that it is well documented that Clinton and his staff upon leaving the White House vandalized and/or destroyed U.S. Government property (property that belongs to the citizens of this country) with complete impunity.
And the Republicans did nothing !!!!
I can tell you from personal experience dealing with the DOJ,that John Ashcroft is no different than Reno.
I must admit, over virtually anyone in the administration, I really trust the honesty of John Ashcroft. I do not believe he is or will be a part of any coverup of PROSECUTABLE offenses done by or under the Clintonistas.
Fine. Then here is a simple test case. Last year (on Ashcroft's watch) Riady (of Chinagate fame) told a court under a DOJ agreement (which says that if he lies he looses his plea bargain and might go to jail), that the Clinton and DNC campaign organizations did NOT return the ILLEGAL contributions that he gave them ... AS THEY CLAIMED. Now the DNC and Clinton people already publically admitted that the money they got from Riady WAS ILLEGAL ... which is why they went to great lengths to say PUBLICALLY that they have returned all that money. So IF they did NOT return the money (i.e., the DOJ finds NO PAPER TRAIL indicating they did) shouldn't there be a trial underway charging them with a rather major violation of the law? And IF there is a paper trail indicating that they did return the money, then shouldn't Riady's plea agreement already be REVOKED and he be a fugitive from justice? Either way, someone should now be in jail. Show me how there wouldn't be enough evidence to prosecute in either case. Or show me that there IS an investigation of this matter underway. Otherwise, I'm left wondering if Ashcroft is a crook TOO.
