>Ambrose Evans-Pritchard: Republicans let Clinton off the hook
>
>IT is time to admit defeat. For the past six years I have been shouting
>that Bill Clinton is a wicked man, with past ties to organised crime and
>a tolerance for vicarious violence. I assumed that Americans would catch
>on to this, and that most would object. For though they are famously
>slow to anger, they are - or used to be - harsh in judgment. But the fat
>times have dulled the senses and absolved all sins.
>
>As for the Republicans, they are too timid, or too enmeshed in
>Clintonian intrigue themselves, to pursue the real charges. They picked
>on an Oval Office sex scandal instead.
>
>During Watergate, the trio of press, Congress and the inquisitor (a
>Democrat partisan and Kennedy protégé) worked together in synergy. As
>they nudged the story forward, they gradually persuaded a sleepy nation
>that something was amiss in the Nixon White House.
>
>This time the media are on the sidelines - or fraternising. The
>Washington Post has been caught feeding media intelligence to the White
>House Counsel's office. NBC Television is sitting on an interview with
>an Arkansas woman who was allegedly raped by Bill Clinton. She now
>admits signing a false affidavit in the Paula Jones lawsuit, under
>duress.
>
>This is combustible stuff. It is also directly relevant to the
>impeachment trial, which stems from witness tampering in the same case.
>NBC may have grounds for caution, but does anybody believe it would have
>hesitated to strike against Nixon?
>
>Still, the Republicans have only themselves to blame for the bêtise of
>indicting Mr Clinton on Monica Lewinsky charges. The counts were bound
>to be mischaracterised as "lying about sex", and bound to serve as a
>perverse vindication for the President. If that is all his persecutors
>could find, we keep hearing, there cannot be much else.
>
>But there is so much else. Congress did not have to confine the
>impeachment to the findings of Kenneth Starr, the independent counsel.
>By doing so, it became a prisoner of Mr Starr's own subtle agenda. This
>is not to accuse Mr Starr of conjuring Miss Lewinsky as a distraction,
>while orchestrating the real cover-up. His actions were never so
>calculated. But Mr Starr is most assuredly not an "independent" counsel.
>He is a creature of the Justice Department, where he once served as
>chief-of-staff. His team in Washington has been dominated by fellow
>insiders, and he has relied slavishly on the FBI to do the donkey work.
>
>But it is precisely the politicisation of the Justice Department and the
>FBI that forms the core scandal pervading the abuses of this
>administration. Mr Clinton began his presidency by firing all senior
>prosecutors, giving him direct control of the investigative machinery.
>
>He then carried out a putsch at the FBI, sacking its director for the
>first time in its history. This was taboo. The FBI director is appointed
>for 10 years, like a judge, to ensure political independence.
>
>Mr Starr has instinctively recoiled from confronting the FBI, limiting
>his zeal to harmless follies that could be prosecuted without collateral
>damage. He turned a blind eye when his deputy warned him about an FBI
>cover-up in the investigation into the death of Vincent Foster, Hillary
>Clinton's closest friend. Negligently - or worse - he failed to take
>testimony from key witnesses in the "Filegate" affair, in which the
>confidential FBI files of more than 900 Republicans were slipped to the
>White House.
>
>The story is emerging instead from a civil lawsuit. We have learnt that
>the raw data were fed into computers for purposes of political
>espionage, at the behest of Mrs Clinton. Had the Republicans folded this
>into the impeachment inquiry, Americans might have taken a very
>different view of the current trial. Misuse of the FBI, after all, was
>Nixon's cardinal sin during Watergate.
>
>But the Republicans have always been skittish about exposing the
>dirtiest of Mr Clinton's dirty linen, lest their own (lesser)
>indiscretions come to light. There is a Washington etiquette in these
>matters, or put another way: they, too, are "mobbed up". That is why, I
>believe, they backed away from probing whether Mr Clinton knowingly
>solicited laundered campaign funds from Chinese military intelligence in
>exchange for restricted missile technology.
>
>It is also why they have been so wary of discussing Mr Clinton's
>astounding ties to Arkansas's 1980s cocaine king, Dan Lasater. Dig a
>little and you discover that Arkansas played a role in the Reagan
>administration's clandestine supply flights to the Nicaraguan Contras,
>with a messy spill-over into the Dixie Mafia. A forbidden subject. Mr
>Clinton gets another free pass.
>
>Impeachment is thus reduced to two measly counts on Monica Lewinsky, and
>the Republicans cannot even get that right. They put on a show trial
>with a scripted outcome of acquittal, calibrated to wound but not to
>kill. Undertaken in the wrong spirit, it has turned against them. The
>Senate Republicans have humiliated their House colleagues by refusing to
>try the case properly, stripping the impeachment of its legitimacy.
>
>So the man caught red-handed in perjury, obstruction of justice and
>ungallantly smearing his lover as a demented stalker is hailed as the
>winner. The world knows that he is guilty, but he is the one enjoying a
>victory cigar.
>
>What a way to end the 20th century.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
