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.
