NEW YORK -- Prosecutors investigating Bill and Hillary Rodham Clinton were prepared to seek indictments of them for their roles in the Whitewater and Monica Lewinsky affairs, an explosive new book about the former president's scandals charges.

In "The Death of American Virtue: Clinton vs. Starr," due out in February, author Ken Gormley also says that Lewinsky believed Bill Clinton lied about their affair during grand jury testimony about his relationship with the White House intern.

Only the thought of “President Gore” kept many from voting to impeach.

If I’m not mistaken, the Kenyan has already broken a couple of these records and is well on his Chicago-thug way to out-corrupt the Grifters from Arkansas.

That we know of, so far. Zero got a HUGE amount of money from overseas, but no one will ever spend a day in jail for it.

Harold Robbins wrote a trashy novel about this pair in 1961. It was called “The Carpetbaggers.”
