Might I point out, though, that your position amounts to arguing that a column of smoke observed from widely varied locations, including internationally, is somehow to be construed that there cannot be a fire there? That's pretty silly.

Still don't see any links.

That's nice. Any proceeds will be seized. That's how it works, now.

[classicman]

Too bad they won't make a dent in the damage he has done.

No, but I like the idea of him dying penniless, preferably in prison.

Believe me, they are going to make an example out of him. Why? Because he's kinda dumb, he's cocky, he got caught, and - most of all - he doesn't own enough politicians.

He's toast. The fat bastard will never see daylight.

Say hi to the boys in GP for me, Bernie!

[xoxoxoBruce]

And his wife got away with a fortune.

[classicman]

not just yet she didn't. They may get that still. I certainly hope so.

[xoxoxoBruce]

I'm betting she's got more hidden, out of the country, than they can even guess.

[classicman]

Yeh thought of that right after I posted.

Finally got some free time -- been busy with other corners of life.

It is things like this that tell me the Democratic Party and Democratic Administrations in general just don't merit support from with-it people. I'd go so far as to remark that the Dems don't deserve a single partisan until they wise up, win the war, promote gun rights to the point of excommunicating any Democrat who doesn't, and rescind the inflation they are currently legislating into being. Oh, and dump socialism too.

Yet somehow there are still living, breathing human beings who can't get behind all the above. What's up with that one?

"Waiting periods are only a step. Registration is only a step. The prohibition of firearms is the goal." - Janet Reno, December 10, 1993 [Associated Press]

This remark of course brands AG Reno as a supporter, conscious or not, of every description of private crime short of embezzlement and keno games, and of the state crime of genocide – acknowledged by everyone as a crime against humanity. Such a stance is either evil or moronic, and wholly unwise. People who are not corrupt do not take these views, but adopt the wiser way of enthusiasm for private arms, which makes crime difficult and genocide an impossibility, as history's record shows.

Does AG Reno's not appointing a special prosecutor to investigate Clinton's illegal fundraising and his often impeachables somehow not amount to Clinton having Reno in his pocket? That Bill Clinton was in the happy position of a mob boss who owned the city chief of police seems the inescapable conclusion, because of this and other peculiar decisions by the AG. Subornation, as I said. Roughly every third professional decision she took smelled funny, and protected the Clintons from the consequences of malfeasances both singular and ongoing. That's too much bias to ignore.

Note the conspicuous lack of such goings-on among the Bush-era Attorneys General, from Alberto Gonzales on. Of course, you'll holler loudly, “But what about this awful crime thing and that that Gonzales did, this that and the other too?!” But you'll notice not even Dennis Kucinich, who has given cause for his sympathy for democracy to come under question, is trying to indict the former Attorney General. Gonzales' record is one of fighting the war. His opponents' record is one of hollering that he should not be fighting the war. Say what? Whose side are these people on again? Sure as hell doesn't look like they're on democracy's, also understandable as humanity's. Trying to criminalize democracy's victory over tyranny is both unconscionable and unwise. It's not difficult to call it insane.

Janet Reno is reported unable to pass a background check in this article – and the claim is made that therefore, for the first time in the history of background checks for Attorneys General, none was made.

Damning, really. No wonder I think she was suborned.

The Cato Institute didn't much like her tenure either.

And more to come... I can keep this up for months, guys.

In fact, Reno ordered an inquiry into allegations regarding Clinton fund raising..but then, at Ken Starr's request, deferred to his independent investigation.

Yep...There were people found guilty of violations of law regarding campaign finances...but none while acting in an official capacity in the Clinton administration.

And yet, that still doesnt equal findings of 4-5 high level Bush DoJ officials found guilty (or still under investigation and facing possible disbarment) for violations of administrative law and agency policies and procedures for political purposes in the performance of official duties of the DoJ.

The rest of your nonsense about keno and state crimes of genocide is jibberish to me.

BTW, if we want to consider criminal acts while in office, I believe there were at least eight Bush officials who served time as a result of criminal activity while in office.....most of whom were charged with some form of corruption:

Scoooter LIbby, the VP's chief of staff, found guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice and sentenced to 30 months in jail for his role in the Plame affair....with the sentence commuted by Bush

David Safavian, chief-of-staff of the General Services Administration and the head procurement official of the federal government sentenced to prison for 18 months on corruption charges related to the Jack Abramoff lobbyist scandal.

Italia Federici, a top political aide to Sec of Interior Gail Norton, received a two month sentence in a halfway house for obstructing the Senate investigation into Abramoff and for tax evasion

Steven Griles (Federici's lover) and the number two official at the Interior Department, also received 10 months in jail for his part in the Abramoff scandal.

Dusty Fago, a top level official at the CIA, received a three year prison sentence on corruption charges.

Bob Stein, the comptroller of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, received nine years in prison for money laundering, conspiracy and bribery.

Felipe Sixto, Bush's White House director of intergovernmental affairs sentenced to 30 months in prison for stealing nearly $600,000 from a government-funded program that promotes democracy in Cuba.

and my favorite:
Brian Doyle, a deputy press secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, was sentenced to five years in jail for attempting to use a DHS computer to seduce a child.

Do you see the difference between your unsubstantiated and still undocumented allegations about Reno and the Clinton DoJ as opposed to the 4-5 Bush DoJ officials found guilty (or still under investigation and facing possible disbarment) by internal DoJ IG investigations of violating the law and/or administrative policies for political purposes, as well as the above examples of corruption and other crimes in the performance of official duties?
