The first federal prosecutor to probe the financial dealings of Bill and Hillary Clinton says he was poised to bring high-profile indictments against top Arkansas political and business figures based in part on testimony from a chief witness against the then president when he was abruptly replaced by a panel of federal judges, throwing his investigation into turmoil.
"I was angry, frustrated and above all disappointed that I was not going to be able to carry through and finish bringing the indictments," writes Robert Fiske, a former U.S. attorney who served as the original independent counsel in charge of the Whitewater investigation, in a forthcoming memoir, "Prosecutor Defender Counselor."
"The simplest way to put it, after I was replaced, the lawyers on the staff in Arkansas said the agents for the FBI and IRS were totally demoralized," Fiske said in the Yahoo News interview. "They thought we were on the brink of doing all these great things, and now that was not going to happen."

The MSM has become attached to its favored status with the Presidency and that arrangement works best for them when the President is a Liberal.
You can WATCH in real time, the MSM positively agonizing over WHICH unscrupulous, low-life criminal they will finally throw all their resources and influence behind.
In elections where the Liberal field is populated by SO MANY of these corrupt and dishonorable types, you can see the MSM stepping all over its own feet before finally and shamelessly demonstrating its unconditional and wholesale support of THE most degenerate (albeit, most MSM friendly) Liberal creep!
Then... LOOK OUT! It becomes something positively Byzantine.
It always reminds me of a film I once saw of snakes mating.
I gag every time I remember it.
Again? We didn't get answers the first time.
Bonnie and Clyde in the White House.

A most excellent description.
ASH ALERT!
JFK made a lot of enemies. He pissed off the CIA, mafia. Anti-Castro, Russians, mafia, and LBJ. Care to guess if Oswald offed him?
Or were paid to sabotage Starr.
You forgot one, the wife of a Ark state trooper commits
suicide with a shot gun, while her suitcases are packed
and waiting by the front door.
Women don’t usually use that method...
Was he not obligated to convey his findings to his successor? Did he or did he not do so?
If he did so, the successor should be investigated.
That would be an interesting thread, "How I found Free Republic dot com".
But to start it here would be hijacking...
We've had enough of democrats - of their lies, paid trolls, and hateful ways for a lifetime... it's time for a break... Hillary should be a grandmother and let some new horror represent democrats.
FReepers did just that during the Clinton impeachment trial.
My book, ark for FR still says “topic:whitewater”
I agree. However, I would change the above slightly and say the media agonize over which low-life criminal DEMOCRAT they will finally throw all their resources and influence behind.
THE LAST 50 YEARS: I think Romney was a good guy, personally. I think he would have had trouble leading due to his lack of leadership skills. GWB and Bush I are honorable guys. Jimmy Carter did not have a real world clue. Reagan was a prince. JFK had issues, but was patriotic. LBJ was a criminal; a gangster.
All in all, democrats have had the most ethically challenged candidates, by far.
Yep, our federal judges, justice department, etc are corrupt as $#!&.
Have been for decades. Some even turn pro and go from working for the government to serving as legal counsel for the mob/organized crime AND they still pull rank with their old contacts in the agencies/on the bench.
It was discussed in the book Stiffed (about MCA's crooked music dealings).
Yup. Exactly what’s going on.
A friend of mine grandfather was a union boss in Mass.
He was a member of the “family” and knew Joe Kennedy from the old days.
Contrary to popular belief, the Kennedys weren’t trying to take down the “family” they were trying to get complete control of the “family”.
Bring back:
OWK and A+bert!!
Fun times, fun times...
