"First Whitewater prosecutor says 'serious crimes' were uncovered in probe"

"The first federal prosecutor to probe the financial dealings of Bill and Hillary Clinton says he was poised to bring high-profile indictments against top Arkansas political and business figures — based in part on testimony from a chief witness against the then president — when he was abruptly replaced by a panel of federal judges, throwing his investigation into turmoil."
"I was angry, frustrated and above all disappointed that I was not going to be able to carry through and finish bringing the indictments," writes Robert Fiske, a former U.S. attorney who served as the original independent counsel in charge of the Whitewater investigation, in a forthcoming memoir, "Prosecutor Defender Counselor."

"The simplest way to put it, after I was replaced, the lawyers on the staff in Arkansas said the agents for the FBI and IRS were totally demoralized," Fiske said in the Yahoo News interview. "They thought we were on the brink of doing all these great things, and now that was not going to happen."

I remember Susan McDougal choosing to remain in prison rather than testify.

Susan sat in jail for over a year, rather than testify against Clinton.

She was the Clinton's Lois Lerner.

The dems always seem to have these people that stay loyal no matter what crimes have been committed.

Back in Clinton Times, being thrown under the bus meant you went to jail for a long time.

In the Age of Obama, being thrown under the bus means you get to stay home from work and collect your big fat pension and complain about journalistic harassment.

CHANGE!

A lot of these people still alive. Most Millennials have no clue.

As a nation, we really should learn to rebel against all this manipulation and lawlessness.

I used to think that Vince Foster murder stuff was all lunatic fringe idiocy.

Now I think Althouse killed Foster.

Or Meade. Whatever.

Stick around long enough and all the stuff you were told was "sheer partisan lunacy" turns out to be true. Maybe we'll get some tasty Clinton-era fact morsels if Hillary actually runs.
