Hi Jackie,
As usual, your perception of issues transcends the bias and prejudice of
others. :) Clearly it seems that if McDougal was refusing to answer
questions in order to hide Clinton's guilt, then Clinton would have
issued a presidential pardon to her to take the heat off of her. He
could simply say that this woman is being persecuted as a political
prisoner and this was against all the principles that our judicial system
stands for. If he is not guilty, however, he does not need to take any
chances with public sentiment and opinion that might be turned against
him if he issues a pardon to McDougal.
Bill
