here we go again=it's all clinton's fault=get a new life
this sort of rubble reminds me of everytime a snowmobiler gets killed they blame the atv-ers(four wheelers).last year
legislators met to examine and do something about the snowmobile accidents(most of them due to high speed) .
the conclusion was atvers can not cross land they don't have permission(hence killing an industry).
the real culprit escaped .high speed machines and no speed limits. many snowmobiles do 120mph out of the box!
but by shifting the fact the snowmobile industry dusted off it's competitor!
this administration has continued to flaunt the law,ignore the people and in fact given the impression they are above the law and can do as they please.
the results won't be decided in a kangaroo court room,but by the little guy on the street.politicans biggest fear is about
to speak=an informed populace!

When indictments come out against officials in one administration it is appropriate to compare that amount with previous administrations. It is not an effort to take away from the indictments handed down recently but it is fair to show everything in an apples to apples way.
