Freeperville on Ken Starr and Clinton Impeachment
Edited on Sun Mar-11-07 06:57 PM by monmouth
I was reading about their great dislike of the "no talented" comedian Bill Maher and this popped up in the thread. I think it relates to impeachment but still.... it was about Maher??? Enjoy..

Whenever the Clinton impeachment is mentioned, I think we should all remember how Ken Starr threw the game, and betrayed our country, from the very start.

It is obvious that he never had any intention of either investigating or prosecuting Clinton for any of the who knows how many, not just serious, but grievous criminal offenses he committed.

But Starr wasted great lengths of time and money ("He is very thorough, a detail man") investigating charges that even a junior district attorney in rural America could have easily brought to trial in weeks, not years.

Instead, because of whatever reason, HE DID NOT INVESTIGATE, PRESS CHARGES, NOR DID HE DO HIS DUTY AND FORWARD ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT FOR HIGH CRIMES AND MISDEMEANORS.

Instead he made the Congress of the United States a laughingstock, by filing frivolous and laughable charges at the very end. And he did not even have the courage to do that himself.

And that is the bottom line. One man, Ken Starr, made the entire process of impeachment into a joke. A bad joke. To the detriment of the United States. Forever.

He proved that the President of the United States is above the law. That he can commit any crime against any citizen and get away with it. Repeatedly. And that he can violate the rights of any men or women, ignore the constitution, subvert the judicial process, and even sell out our national security to our foreign enemies.

He is no longer President. He is our KING. Because Kenneth Starr failed in his duty.

He deserves a place in our history next to Benedict Arnold and John Wilkes Booth.

1. Do they mention what "crimes" against the people Clinton committed?
I don't feel that trying to hide a sexual relationship was a crime against me or my country, do you? However I do feel trying to hide the real reason you've taken a country to war and killed thousands of its soldiers and hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians and occupying a non-threatening nation...hey, THAT is a crime against the citizens of this country.

Yet Bush will walk completely free, and insanely rich, will never pay a price for his crimes. He won't even humiliated, because he is incapable of humiliation -- he thinks everyone else is just stupid.

Fuck FR. Those people are complete imbeciles.

4. Transference...
they can't accept the fact the they have chosen to back a mass-murdering fool, so they take everything he has done and project it onto Clinton.

very sad.

5. The old stab-in-the-back theory.
Any time they don't get their way, it's always because of the "enemy within". The thought that they might be mistaken never occurs to them.
