Federal prosecutors must have enough evidence to reasonably expect a conviction,before they can go to trial. Witnesses who have amnesia when it comes to the Clinton's, shredded and lost documents, vague answers and well covered tracks are not a sufficient basis for an indictment. If Bush were to have reached down into the Justice Dept and thwarted an investigation,the scandal would blow Watergate out of the water.File this with the cocaine addict stories.

Really? Haven't been paying much attention to the news since about 1992,have you? Besides,do your REALLY think the Dims would complain and make a public stink about Bubba-2 covering for the crimes and coverups they comitted under Bubba-1?

There are people on Death Row, with a lot less circumstancial
evidence. We have trials in order to let people draw reasonable
inferences from the evidence. This nonsence that we must prove
Quid Pro Quo is just that, nonsense. Barring a confession along
with three expert psycological opinions that the confession is
not coerced, nor fabricated, we will never prosecute these crooks.

One thing for sure if Justice drags there feet long enough, then
the statute of limitations kicks in and they are home free.
