Clintons Want Money Back: Bill and Hillary Asking to Be Reimbursed for Whitewater Probe

YOU BET THEY ARE!!!

But as to these two absolute horrors of human beings who STOLE White House treasures, including one PRICELESS PAINTING, when they left the WH, for HEAVENS SAKE, tell um sure, you can be REINBURSED FOR YOUR COSTS IN THE WHITEWATER INVESTIGATION when you PRODUCE all of the evidence Hillary had shredded at her law firm.

And if they don't like that.....

Then tell these two arrogant fatuous slobs that they can be reinbursed when they PAY ALL OF US BACK-that would be the United States TREASURY- for SEVEN MONTHS of the Independent Counsel's office investigation wherein BILLY CLINTON LIED and cost all of US SEVEN MONTHS of Ken Starr's work. I mean....how many MILLIONS was that?

We cannot allow that SOB to get money back into his greedy pockets when HE, by LYING in order to save his own sorry skin, was willing to trash the rights of a rather powerless citizen. It took SEVEN MONTHS for him to decide to tell the truth. Seven months that cost all of us WHO KNOWS WHAT?

So here is the deal-billy and hilly pay the US treasury back for the seven month stall while billly lied to the IC investigation-initiated under his OWN AG- Ol Reno, and THEN maybe he can be reimbursed for SOME of the money he shelled out.....er....OOOOOOPS....as I understand it, they haven't PAID any of their bills yet.

Bush to Cheney while a live mike was on: "That's Adam Clymer of the New York Times. He's a world class asshole". Cheney to Bush: "He sure is."

Actually, isn't this when Cheney says: Yeah, BIG TIME

So VP Cheney is affectionately known as "Big Time".

Geez are these white trash low lifes not only insane but mentally retarded? They have never owned a house...never had a pot to pi$$ in unless they stole it, and they want reparations for something that was paid out of their swindling-Lincoln bedroom-chinese (had to pee) fund? Screw them. Tell them to get it from somebody besides the taxpayers.

Prohibiting Bible reading in school? Killing 40M babies? Could that have something to do with it?

Reminds me of the good ol' days. The Clinton's always dumped their garbage on Friday night.

"Let's hope Attorney General Ashcroft has the balls to "just says NO!".

I hope the Rpublicans will finally stup up and say NO. This is going to take more than Ashcroft.

While I respect the Bush administration, I am disappointed with the tone. Already, you can read into what into I am saying.

Have you ever seen such a pandering administration? I haven't. Frankly, I think they are scared to death of the second election and are treading water like crazy instead of taking the initiative.

Let's not forget that it was Bill Clinton himself who requested the appointment of a Whitewater Special Counsel on December 24, 1994.

[steamroller]

Hillary's soul probably stinks worse than her pantsuit.

[rockfish59]

What is the lifespan of these bottom feeders?

[rockfish59]

lol! Good one Dubya!
Seems you've lost your edge ever since!

Bush to Cheney while a live mike was on: "That's Adam Clymer of the New York Times. He's a world class asshole". Cheney to Bush: "He sure is."

Wasn't Cheney's reply "Big Time"?

[InvisibleChurch]

do you know who runs the travel office these days? just wondering

[Kaslin]

I remember that and it is was a classic IMHO

[JPJones]

Give them the money, right before the AUDIT.

No surprise here- the indpendent council law allows the reimbursement of attorney's fees if the subject of the investigation is not indicted. Reagan and Bush both were reimbursed, so this is not exactly news other than the fact the amount of reimbursement will be quite large compared to what Ronaldus Maximus and GHWB received.

Speaking of Klayman, does anybody know whatever happened with his suit regarding all of the lost e-mail and misplaced hard drives from the clinton admin? Seems that suit just faded away into nothingness.

[Jhoffa_]

Seems that suit just faded away into nothingness.

Like all the rest to the best of knowledge..

[mlocher]

i suppose if i lived in a multi-million dollar house and required a co-signer to get my mortgage, i would be looking whereever i could for money...

government handouts anyone?

[cyncooper]

the indpendent council law allows the reimbursement of attorney's fees if the subject of the investigation is not indicted.

Don't forget the rest of it:

"Under the law, those who are investigated but not indicted have the right to seek reimbursement if they can prove they would not have been targeted but for the Office of Independent Counsel Act.

I wouldn't count on any "re"imbursement coming anytime soon.
