Though Hillary Clinton's former finance chairman David Rosen was actually indicted in 2003, the Bush administration kept it secret till the indictment was unsealed late Friday, a move that spared the former first couple and the Democratic Party significant embarrassment during the height of the 2004 presidential campaign.

The obvious question:

Why has the President been treating the Clintons with courtesy and kid gloves (or even velvet gloves) after all the back-biting, criticism, and innuendo these two creeps have heaped upon him?

There are a lot of great minds on this site!

What ever happened to simply disclosing the indictment when it comes down, in the normal course.

Maybe they wish to obtain a conviction and didn't want it spun as a political move by the Bush DOJ.

I say "maybe" sarcastically as it is patently clear that is why it was just unsealed. They must be ready for "showtime" (aka "the trial").

[cyncooper]

Translation, please.

(I'm not in the mood to parse out what you just said there)

This was a smart political move on the part of the Bush admin. During impeachment, the Clintons effectively turned themselves into martys. Any legal action taken against Hillary will be portrayed as such by her staff, the democrats and the MSM.

Expect similar treatment of Sandy Burger. THere is no political profit for the GOP in pursuing this stuff.

[cyncooper]

All reports are there was no tape of Berger.

Having said that, I'm confident he'll be indicted eventually, too.

1. "New tone in Washington..."

2. "Compassionate conservatism..."

Good Point!

Here ya go

Tonken says he handed out checks to "certain pols" that were "illegal". And he personally witnessed a "brown bag" stuffed with cash going "someplace it shouldn't."

Sounds like business as usual for the Clintonistas.

Was Paul the guy that wound up in jail in S.America? Anyone know?

[woofie]

It might be a simple clear cut court proceeding will yield the most results

[woofie]

I think Paul is the guy

[woofie]

I will also need a coke

There's got to be a liberal spin to this about how Bush manipulated this. I'm waiting to hear it. I'm sure we'll get the talking points on how it's Bush's fault on tomorrows talk shows.

[sgtbono2002]

I have wondered the same thing. I seem to remember when George H. Bush ran against Clinton he had information on Bubba's drug use and info on the Brother himself and also Gennifer Flowers. he refused to let us know what an awful prick Clinton was, It got him defeated. Nice guys usually finish last and GWB would have finished last too if the Swiftees hadnt stepped up and told the truth.

I assumed that there would cameras in a viewing area where people go to look at classified documents. So much for security and safekeeping of classified documents!

"1. "New tone in Washington..."

2. "Compassionate conservatism..."

3. 900 missing FBI files

4. (adjusting tinfoil hat) As per NWO "instructions"

In Politics, timing is important. This would have been ignored pre-Nov 2, and '06 and '08 are far enough away for the memories to linger.

Hopefully, this will go to trial around March-April '06 and put a taint on the already odoriferous Swillary's reelection

[Mo1]

Would ya like me to pour it for ya too??? :0)

Wow ...Thanks so much
