in case anyone has forgotten: Travel-gate
Edited on Tue Mar-13-07 11:30 AM by Mend
Ken Starr, 6 years, 55 million dollars, charges that the Pres. and Mrs. Clinton lied under oath. All of this about who would buy airline tickets. But republicans are allowed to start illegal wars, allow NO to drown, completely corrupt our Justice Department, fire US attorneys, no-competition contracts with Halliburton, filthy VA hospitals. My brain is exploding....Hilliary Clinton said there is a vast-right wing conspiracy and I think she is right. They get to do anything they want and we get investigated and hounded over nothing at all. I would like to see a book published on all the presidents and who they had sex with, and that is just volume one.

1. The Clintons did fire a lot of White House staffers when it
became clear that these folks were feeding info on the Clintons back to the Bush family and the press. I'd have done the same, but I would have made a public announcement as to what I was doing and why. A lot of that "info" was false, by the way. I'd love to see an article discussing what went on in the White House those first few weeks. I'd also like to know if the Reagens and the Bushes systematically replaced White House staffers themselves to ensure loyalty

2. Also, the head of the Travel Office had transfered
thousands of dollars from the office into his own personal bank accoaunt-and plead GUILTY to it. But yes, someone was calling Time and Newsweek about lamp-throwing and other stupid crap too numerous to mention. Reading about the WH back then was like picking up a weekly edition of the National Enquier.

3. Not to mention creating the myth that the Clinton staffers
trashed the Whitre House offices when they left. Yet another example of Republican projection of dirty tricks that they like to carry out!
