1. He DID break the rules, and it IS political, AND it's yet to be seen.
How many votes do I get?

2. He took his own notes out, from what I understand
AND the 9/11 commission said it didn't care. AND Bush and Cheney have hidden a lot more. So :wtf:?

4. So far,
he admitted taking documents out of the room, as well as his notes, so that's at least a technical violation of the security laws...

but...

It's totally politicized by Hastert and others, and blown waaaayyy out of proportion.

In my humble opinion, he committed one cardinal sin in politics:

When you're swimming with sharks, don't bleed

11. I'll tell you what I do know..
Clinton understands the mentality of the Right Wing and is usually accurate in his assessment of why things are..

Is he honest? I can't answer for God..only he knows how honest each of us are..

6. foreshadowing of something important
we will see. the timing is of course political. the offense, minor and probably nothing will come of it, legally.

the actual documents will probably reveal something significant and likely embarassing to Bush. The 9-11 commission is floating the meme that Clinton didn't properly warn Bush. This has been denied by the Clinton folks and Berger especially since the commission got started. my guess is that in those documents is evidence that Clinton was on the trail of something big, perhaps the WMD transactions that the Plame thread folks are working on.

Tectonic plates will shift, sometime soon. We just don't know how, or when.

8. The stink is POLITICAL.....
It's the fart bush layed before going on vacation. Political, political, political. Some of you are buying Novak/Rove's lies. What bush needs to do is open up his books and cheney's to us, the American people and stop his dirty politics. That bastard.

I've worked in classified/secret programs. It is very easy to make a harmless mistakes. Those mistakes, no matter how harmless, must be corrected immediately, documented, and a signed copy of the violation is placed in the Secret Record File of the person making the mistake.

9. He has been under investigation since last year and no charges have
Edited on Wed Jul-21-04 09:04 AM by tandot
been filed so far.

Is "innocent until proven guilty" still a principle in our justice system or did the right-wing extremist eliminate that, too?
