Clintons Lose Whitewater Appeal
By DEVLIN BARRETT (Direct

WASHINGTON (AP)
�
The federal government does not have to pay for the bulk of former president Bill Clinton and Hillary Rodham Clinton's legal fees arising out of an independent counsel investigation into a failed Arkansas land deal, an appeals court ruled
Tuesday.
(ap)
- "The Federal Government does not have to pay...", that's one way to
say it. Another, would be to say that "the American Taxpayer does not
have to pay..." The arrogance of these people is mind-blowing even to
this day. They really expected the American people to foot the bill for an
investigation that their own actions caused, and multiple people, including the
former Lt. Governor to Bill Clinton, Jim Guy Tucker (D), were found to be guilty
of Felonies in regard to Clinton's land deal? By the way, Jim Guy Tucker
(D) had to step down from the position of Governor after he was found Guilty of
four Felony counts in relation to his dealings with the Clinton's and their
White Water land deal. Those of you thinking, "Whitewater was a
waste of time and money and Ken Starr never "got" anyone", can
just start being honest with yourselves right now, because I have just reminded
you of what you erased from your mind because you are an absolutist Clinton
apologist and are suffering from Intellectual Dishonesty in regard to the Crimes
he committed, in office, and out. And for those of you preparing to
e-mail me with "Clinton is out of office, let it go!", you can save
the keystrokes, because his Wife, HILLARY! was part of this deal, and she is
currently a Senator/Carpetbagger from New York, along with the Fact that this
was, and I repeat, WAS a main Wire story today. As long as the "Free
Press" makes those people an issue, either by protecting them, or by making
the mistake of leaving a negative story on the Wire just long enough for me to
grab it, then I will be here to give my opinion on it!... Deal with it!
Now, shall we continue, because this should be classic! - tha malcontent)
The Clintons had sought reimbursement for more than $3.5 million in lawyer costs stemming from the Whitewater probe, which lasted more than seven years and cost taxpayers $70
million.
(Now
the AP refers to us... Gee, I wonder why? If you give for inflation, how
much did Iran/Contra cost the American Taxpayers? That's what I
thought! Oh and don't get cranky at my going back in time for a
comparison, I am sure that the AP will do it in a way that paints Reagan/Bush
(41) in a less than positive light before this TRIPE is complete! - tha
malcontent)
The Clintons were never indicted, but a 14-page decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia notes the independent investigation into Whitewater and other matters ultimately resulted in 24 indictments, at least 16 convictions and the president's
impeachment.
(Clinton
was also found "In Contempt of Court" for "Willfully Lying Under
Oath" too AP! Could we please have a breakdown of the 16
Convictions? Oh, and one more thing, could I see a comparative list of the
Convictions from the DemocRAT run Iran/Contra investigations, and how closely
related to Reagan/Bush these people were? I think I remember Iran/Contra
ending just after Bush (41) left office in the early 90's... Nope, that was not
a political witch hunt! - tha malcontent)
The special appeals panel was the same one that appointed Kenneth Starr to take over the investigation in 1994 and then authorized him to investigate matters surrounding White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
(Starr
was appointed at
the request of Clinton's Janet "Waco" Reno! And how easily the
AP refers to Clinton's Impeachment, Perjury and molestation of an unpaid intern
in the Oval Office while discussing troop deployment in Bosnia with a
Congressman, as "matters surrounding White House intern Monica Lewinsky"...
Classic! - tha malcontent)
The couple's lawyer, David Kendall, issued a statement saying that former President Ronald Reagan was reimbursed for 72 percent of his legal costs stemming from the Iran-Contra investigation, and his vice president George Bush was reimbursed for 59 percent of his costs in the same
matter.
(Reagan,
nor Bush (41), LIED UNDER OATH and were therefore NOT found IN CONTEMPT OF COURT
and then DISBARRED, as William the Liar was!... Figure it out! - tha malcontent)
The Clintons, Kendall said, were reimbursed for only 2 percent of their request for Whitewater costs.
"The facts and the numbers speak for themselves," said Kendall. "The good news is that the partisan Whitewater smoke-and-mirrors investigation is finally
over."
(Former
Governor of Arkansas, and CONVICTED FELON thanks to Bill's Whitewater, Jim Guy
Tucker (D) sure doesn't think his 4 Felonies were smoke and mirrors! But
what can one expect from the mouth of Kendall anyway! I can sure count on
the AP to front it for him though! - tha malcontent)
Sen. Clinton's most recent financial disclosure forms show the couple owed between $1.7 million and $6.5 million in outstanding legal
bills.
(What
about the "Clinton Legal Defense Fund"?... What a DISGUSTING couple of
louses these two Liars are! - tha malcontent)
The Clintons had asked to be reimbursed for the costs of responding to the Whitewater probe, arguing they would never have faced such an expensive, lengthy process if not for their positions as President and First
Lady.
(Maybe
if they did not lead direct business dealings that found their partners in said
deals getting CONVICTED of FELONIES, they would have an argument! Bill's
aversion to telling the Truth while under oath did not help matters either! -
tha malcontent)
The appeals court rejected that argument, ruling the Clintons would have been investigated with or without the appointment of an independent counsel, and therefore should pay the overwhelming majority of those legal
costs.
(Yep...
And what's more, they would have most likely been found Guilty on multiple
counts if it had not been for their position of Power in the White House, and
what that meant to their defense, and the monies they gained by being
"popular" with Hollywood, while the "Free Press" reported
sympathetically in their favor. Had these two hacks still been in the
Governor's Trailer in Little Rock, they may have found themselves sharing the
cell with their former Lt. Governor, Jim Guy Tucker... And I know his sentence
was suspended due to "Life threatening" health issues, so save it!
He is still alive and kicking the last time I checked... Shouldn't he be serving
his time? Yet another favor for a friend. Just like the Child
Molester Bill let out of prison... "The most ethical White House in
History"! -
tha malcontent)
"We harbor no doubt that in the absence of the independent counsel statute the allegations surrounding the Clintons, Madison Guaranty, and Whitewater would have been similarly investigated and prosecuted by the Department of Justice," the panel
wrote.
(Maybe
these two filthy individuals will fight it all of the way to the Supreme
Court... That would be classic! - tha malcontent)
The Clintons can be reimbursed for $85,312.01 in legal fees relating to the review and response to the counsel's final report, because a federal prosecutor normally does not issue such a report, the judges ruled.
The ruling also found the independent counsel law was designed so that reimbursement for fees "should be difficult; that such fees will not be a common thing."
In 1996, Reagan was awarded $562,111 in legal fees after an appeals court said he had reason to believe he faced a "realistic possibility" of being indicted in the Iran-Contra investigation, which was led by an independent counsel. Reagan had sought over $777,000.
Bush was reimbursed $272,352 for his costs connected to the probe.
(Interesting,
no comparisons of Convictions between the two... Curious.... And
predictable. Believe me, I want the Clinton's to stop being news more than
anyone, so don't waste my time with "get over it" e-mails, thanks! -
