He walks away with his bag of plunder while people still hate Hillary for Whitewater (she was not found guilty and lost money...not much either)?

Congress can't enforce their own oversight and ethics? Well..yes.

Congress I want my tax payer dollars back. Dennis already has a tax payer retirment package. His land deal was payment for his treason on the floor pushing through the Patriot Act, etc. in the dead of the night. Treason pays well in this administration.

1. I always wondered as well and there is no reason why still they can't
look into it but appears they just want to forget about it. Probably a deal was struck somewhere.

2. The deal struck always goes against the tax payers
pocket and freedom.

3. You ask why Hastert is allowed to walk away? Because, he can.
Who's going to stop him? Nothing to see here. :sarcasm:

4. The Congress frat club needs to be brought to the office
and told the laws. They are lawless now. Our Judical branch is broken and full of self interested hacks.

5. There's one rule for officeholders
and quite a different set for the rest of us.

Such is the Marie Antoinette society we have grown accustomed to.
