Lets not get distracted by and react to only the "sex scandal" aspects of
the Clinton administration's many scandals.
The Clintons and their supporters (the vast left wing conspiracy) must be
relieved to have the media and the American people wasting their time and
energy talking about "sex scandals" among "consenting adults" or how evil
Ken Starr's methods are (please ignore any and all evidence of wrongdoing
that may be found in the process).
But, under our legal and governmental system, I think we have to care
whenever someone lies to us and lies under oath. We have to care if they
tell others to lie and advise them on how to get away with it. We have to
care if they pay others off for lying by getting them undeserved jobs
that others should have. All that and more has to be investigated to
determine the truth.
What ever happened to investigating the way the Clinton's persecuted
the travel office employees and illegally used the FBI and IRS to do it
(Billy Dale et al scandal). How about the misappropriation of all those
FBI files; how about payoffs by Tyson Chicken via cattle futures, or
payoffs by Indonesia, or China (John Huang) .... on an on it goes... (But
it really is "just a little sex scandal" and nothing we should be
concerned about).
For your entertainment, further allegations (high crimes and misdemenors)
that should be investigated (to determine the truth) follow:
