Subject: RE: BS: William Jefferson Clinton
And it should also point out that Janet Reno refused to allow several other indictments of people connected to the Clinton Administration (including offenses that Clinton was clearly guilty of). Example, it is a federal felony to know of on offense of Federal law and to fail to report it. It is called Misprison of a Felony. Like when Clinton had Monica come down to his office to sign a false response to the grand jury that he and Monica had never had sex, recieved gifts or special assistance in seeking other employment (there were also conspriracy charges dropped).

And remember that it was the Democrats who wanted the Special Prosecutor extended, and riduculed the Republicans when they attempted to say the process was out of control. (And while it is often said that Republicans are too smart and too rich by half, it can also be said Democrats are dumber than stumps when it comes to seeing both sides of an issue i.e., Pavlov was a Republican, Pavlovs dogs were Democrats).

Starr also wanted to indict Sidney Blumenthal and several others in the Administration. The question comes to mind, that if Reno prevented some indictments and not others, she obviously had the power to stop them all. In fact, several members of her Department resigned in protest when she refused certain indictments.

It is obviously proper tho say that Janet Reno, and the Select Panel of Judges allowed Starr to obtain those indictments he did.

And by the way toadfrog, you are confusing the term "cabinet-level" with the term "Cabinet Secretary". Cabinet-level officers are those covered under Executive Priveledge, and cannot be called to disclose their conversations with the President in the decision-making process.

And more importantly, by attempting to obfiscate the details of what happened, it becomes an even clearer distinction that Bush has had NO INDICTMENTS against any member of his Administration to this point. As the base details of what mega-companies were allowed to get away with during the Clinton Boom years becomes public, and the cowardice he showed in the face of National and personal crisises he faced, is reviewed for history, the Clinton legacy will descend into the venal ignominy he so richly deserves.

By the way, has anyone seen him with Hillary since she won office? past year?
