I think that you have hit on part f the reason that Reno is running. The Democrat leaders who are pushing this (Clinton, McC et al) are already planning on using her candidacy as a shield. Now, with her running, they can paint any investigation as partisan politics aimed at discrediting the opponent of the Presidents brother ... and sadly, the people of this country will likely buy that line. Her candidacy alone provides another year of cover ... and by the time it's over, and she is gone, the Clintons will be 2 years removed from the WH and it may be beyond the political realm of possibility to drag up 2 year old scandals.

It is the ONLY reason. Reno is an extremely unattractive candidate. She is running FROM, not FOR.

I think you REALLY nailed it BlueNgold.

This is so obvious in hind-sight, it sure makes the national media's neglect of the Reno-run conspiracy dramatically apparent. They're in on it. PKM's 'war of the Bushes' hypothesis that GWB will finally pull off the gloves is likely just wishful thinking. Unless Jeb is really cut of sterner stuff than his brother. We'll see.
