It was a cute little deal actually.

From the rumors that I heard, Clintoon went down south to Silicon valley and talked with a number of these software companies. They ALL gave him money.

Then he called Bill on the phone and told him to anty up, Gates told him in no uncertain terms that he gives a certain amount ot both parties and that's it. 10K I believe was the number.

Clintoon told him to try again, Gates told him to piss up a rope. 3 months later the justice dept was after microsoft.

Another example of the clintons using the feds as their own little baseball bat.

Thanks for refreshing my memory on that part of the deal.
