If Clinton and Huck are examples of politics in Arkansas, it makes me wonder what else Clinton got away with in the White House...given what we aalready know...Thank God Huckabee will probably go down in flames in the primaries and never give us a repeat of the Clinton years (although it scares me to think this gives Romney and Rooti Tutti a shot at the nomination).
Arkansas politics? How about Donald Smaltz’s independent counsel inquiry into then-Secretary of Agriculture Mike Espy?
Early on, Smaltz focused his investigation on Tyson Foods, seeking to determine whether the company had a practice of providing gratuities to government officials. In searching for inside information about the company’s activities, Smaltz discovered a former Tyson airplane pilot named Joe Henrickson, who had unsuccessfully sued the company for wrongful termination. Henrickson told Smaltz an explosive story about having transported envelopes of cash from Tyson corporate officers to then-Governor Bill Clinton.
