"Nonetheless, the independent counsel concluded, consistent with the Principles of Federal Prosecution, that further proceedings against President Clinton for his conduct should not be initiated."

Because we now want to teach the important lesson that if you are powerful and well-connected, you are above the law. What a great lesson.

A $115,000 in fines is less than his fee for a speech, what a deal.

They can still be charged with treason.

[Mr. K]

What a dickhead this Ray sounds like... "Let it be said here..." .... dork....

[WhiteGuy]

By whom?

[gcruse]

I don't believe in luck that consistent. It was a great failing of the American public (not to mention the voter) that he was able to ride out what should have been a firestorm followed by removal from office. Much as we grew weary of, then abandoned, the man who faced down the tanks in Tienanmen Square, America couldn't keep up the heat long enough to do the job.

Another giant leap down the path to two sets of laws. One set for the "ruling class" and another set for the rest of us.
Good men shed blood and died to prevent this.

What is the point in persecuting Enron executives when you were willing to allow Clinton to walk?

And as Jaworski said, we have reaffirmed the principle and the spirit of the law that 'no one is above the law.'

I have trouble seeing how this reaffirms the principle that "no one is above the law".

Nixon paid dearly for his transgressions. It cost him his job and his dignity. He wasn't prsecuted but was given a pardon. Clinton won. He did not loose anything. He had no dignity to loose, he kept his job and thumbed his nose at everyone.

"A generation later, let it be said here."

Whaaaaat?!!!!!!!

The guy sounds like he is trying to imitate one of Clinton's Kennedyesque Speeches...............

"NOW LET US GO FORWARD ON THE BRIDGE TO THE 21st CENTURY..."

What is the point on persecuting anyone if certain select people are above the law? If the law doesn't serve everyone, that it's every man for himself. The law is just another club for powerful thugs to beat you up with, it deserves no more special regard than a gun or a switchblade deserves.

"In the independent counsel's judgment, there was sufficient evidence to prosecute President Clinton for violating federal criminal laws within this office's jurisdiction," the statement said.

Then the independent counsel needs his ass kicked and he should return his salary cause he didn't do his job.

The legacy just continues to grow.

[Sangamon Kid]

Ray...said there was sufficient evidence to prosecute Clinton.

Two years ago we could have told you this, and frankly, most if not all Freepers knew that Ray's "Oh, by the way" statement would come out long after anything could be done to Clinton.

One day soon the Washington politicos will realize too late that the American public's anger will boil over, and Republicans and Democrats alike will pay a dear price for their wanton rape and pillage of Joe Sixpack.

Well said!, sad, but well said.

What a loser Ray is! To do all that work, collect all that evidence, and walk away is a waste of time and taxpayers' money and an affront to justice.

Billy Klintoon belongs in jail. His wife does, too.
