The $64,000 question is, "Will they start shredding?"

These bookkeeping shenanigans seem to begin around Lewinsky and impeachment. It's possible that it could be a coincidence. About as possible as Britney Spears, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Alyssa Milano calling me up to schedule dates for this weekend, but it is possible.

IF they were cooking the books to bail Clinton out, then we have a VERY nasty situation here for the Dems. Because the "prosperity" of the 1990s will be proven to be fraudulent to a degree. And when that happens, and people open up their 401(k) statements once the news gets out, it's not going to be fun to be a Dem.

Communists tell many lies.

Sorry, I disagree. The $64,000 question is, "Will they ever STOP shredding?"

Clinton's presidency seemed to be going down the tubes in late August '98, after his disastrous appearance on TV admitting that he had lied. Then he showed up in NYC, appeared at the UN and the CFR, and no doubt met with a lot of leaders of big finance, and his presidency gradually seemed to recover after that. I wonder what deals he struck.

By the way, what was that timing of Rubin's bailout of that big hedge fund in '98?
