I’m guessing here, but it could be that when all documents and information about Hillary is being guarded and stonewalled that the only thing left to do is prove a pattern of corruption and perjury. And Whitewater is where it all begins on a ‘Federal’ level.
That pattern could have been established in the Clinton Presidency, even moreso during the tenure as Secretary of State -- the only reason that it's not happening is 'politics'.
Another FReeper observed the other day that the Clintons like to leave big Mutually Assured Destruction 'traps' in their wake -- which is essentially what the 4chan FBI agent said when he mentioned There is enough for her and the entire government to be brought down. People do not realize how enormous this whole situation actually is. Whether she will be or not depends on how much info about others involved gets out, and there are a lot of people involved.
I suspect, but cannot prove, that the Clinton Foundation's Pay-to-Play/Influence-Peddling was involved in the Iran Deal, which got 98 'yea' votes in the Senate and is provably Treason. (Even Politifact rates the Iran Deal as being Hillary's as half true
.)
