George Bush has no business going after clinton personally with a vindictive vendetta, which is exactly the way clinton would have behaved. But he also has no business hamstringing the prosecutors. He should put good prosecutors into office, get out of the way, and let them do their job.

DOJ Under Janet Ashcroft - Has Anything Changed?
Excerpt:
Investigators with the office of the U.S. Attorney for New York's Southern District are being actively discouraged from pursuing evidence of criminal wrongdoing in the Clinton Pardongate scandal, with one insider charging that any prosecutor who tries to build a case against the former first family may actually hurt his career.
So says Fox News Channel's Bill O'Reilly, who made the startling cover-up allegation in his column this weekend.
"Although the Justice Department continues to say the probe is 'on the front burner', agents have told me there is little incentive to get things done," the Fox News commentator claimed. "In fact, one investigator said, if you push too hard on the case, you could find yourself in Fargo, N.D."
O'Reilly suggested that the Justice Department's go-slow regimen for probing the Clintons final White House scandal was likely instigated by the Bush White House.
"George W. Bush understands the way the game in Washington is played. You must make 'accommodations.'..... And what Bush may have given the Democrats is the assurance that he will not embarrass their party by aggressively pursuing the Marc Rich pardon investigation."
(((PING))))))
Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my ping list!. . .don't be shy.

And in return he is getting what? Dasshole blocking the majority of Bush's appointments and all conservative legislation? Some tradeoff!
Bump this back up tommorow AM.
Listen folks, like it or not, Bush told us that he would put this behind us, and now he's doing his best to do just that. "Uniter not a Divider" remember that????
The dude actually does what he says, and that wasn't just a stupid slogan. I'm guessing that he really does think that healing the nation is more important than further dividing it to prosecute these people. We had our one best shot and the Senate punted. (They were probably too dirty to live through the fight.)
And don't think that the nation can't heal without justice. You political freaks and geeks (I include myself) may not, but the rest of the nation will bask in the serenity and get on with life.
That's the obvious direction that Bush has taken this since the moment he stepped into the office - one investigation after another has been shelved. This is old news. Don't expect that to change. Deal with it.
And they both play the victim so well that without absolute proof, it will be made to appear that the GOP political machine is still out to get the Clintons. We REPS should realize by now that the Clintons cover their tracks too well for anything to be found that would stand up in court.
It was within Clinton's power as president to pardon anyone he damn well pleased and you can be certain that no evidence of the probable 'quid pro quo'(sp?) was left behind. So like Whitewater, Filegate, Vince Foster, Travelgate, et al, the GOP would again lose public support when nothing could be proven in court.
Of course we REPS would like to see Clinton punished, but at what cost? Our man is in office now, with an 83% approval rating. While I do not agree with all of his politics, I know for certain that I would not have approved of 100% of Gore's.
Personally, I think Bush simply wants the Clintons to disappear and he is not going to be party to putting them back in the headlines on the dim hope that something could be proven in a court of law against them.
Do you understand what this statement actually means? It means that there is no way to get a conviction unless Bill Clinton confesses onder oath.
No wonder so many people are getting irritated with you. Try thinking about the article before posting it.
