Of course when the Clintons were lying under oath (does anyone believe that Hillary “didn’t remember” so many things) and paying others to lie under oath (Monica Lewinsky was rewardedd with a job above her pay grade), Dopey Opie Ron Howard didn’t mind.
The Lewinsky scandal showed the pattern of abuse throughout the Clinton administration. And even after they left office it didn’t end. Sydney Berger stole and destroyed documents from the National Archives.
You didn’t mention the pardons, renting out the Lincoln Bedroom, selling plots at Arlington National, using the WH as a springboard into a $$$ making lecture circuit, getting/holding/lying about the possession of FBI files, chumming it up with avowed enemies of the US to sell (I said SELL) national defense secrets to them, stuffing their pockets with money (went into the WH stone broke without even a home of their own and parlayed the Presidency into $$$$$), ‘persuaded’ institutes of higher ‘education’ to basically HAND their daughter a degree, etc.... tell me where to stop!!!!
And if you remember, years before this Lewinsky crap happened, someone “caught” an IRS agent perusing the files of hundreds of Hollyweird people. That was a shot across the bow - play ball or be dragged across the coals.
“The Lewinsky scandal showed the pattern of abuse throughout the Clinton administration.”
Exactly. Somehow libs miss the fact that Clinton was guilty of exactly the same thing as Nixon, obstruction of justice. Only Clinton was absolutely protecting himself from an underlying offense (a civil offense, against Paula Jones), whereas who knows what Nixon was protecting concerning the Watergate breakin, aside from his public image. The media still hasn’t convinced me that they know what the hell happened with the breakin. I’ve read convincing arguments that it could have been John Dean’s idea.
Anyway, my point is because of Nixon’s defense of a meaningless crime I have to sit through movie trailers with characters talking about democracy being at stake, whereas I’ll almost certainly never, ever have to sit through a Clinton movie that isn’t a thinly vieled love letter (like “The American President,” “The Contender,” or “Primary Colors”). Methinks Nixon’s problem was that he was smart enough to see the imperial nature of the president for what it was, whereas the rest of them (Bush included) hide behind false humility.
