Mr. Barrett found his path mined by the Justice Department the Internal Revenue Service and President Clinton's attorneys, even after Mr. Clinton departed the White House.
Which is why nests of 'rats should be cleaned out ASAP when a new administration takes over.
Absolutely.
I have come to the conclusion that if McCain had instead of running hard on Bush's left back in 2000...had instead run on his right, and ridiculed Bush on all of his softpedaling...concessions over the Xlintons...challenging over whether anyone was ABOVE the law...and what Bush REALLY thought the Xlintons had done with their stewardship...Get in public rather than swept under the rug.
If GWB had then talked instead about moving on, and bipartisan healing, etc. and more obfuscatory evasions...a stalwart conservative attack would have been LETHAL.
