Not bad four guilty verdicts for a crime that never happened...sure wish the department of Justice could do as well with gang members, and drug dealers....
well I hope he gets as stiff of a penalty as Bill got.
The crime did happen.
They got Al Capone on tax evasion. His momma should have taught him not to lie. Bill Clinton got away with it and degraded the office of the presidency in doing so. This has degraded the office of the vice president. It is hypocrisy at the highest when they put a reporter in the slammer for not lying on a leak.
What is bad is that our system has a hard time making people pay for the crime they should actually be accountable for. Our political system has the same problem. Just as you point out, Steve, it is a problem for both parties.
Instead of the rule of law, we have the rule of the powerful.
It is a sad commentary on our democracy.
