Off-Topic: [Michael Chertoff] Once A Clinton Nemesis During Whitewater, Now A Clinton Supporter
http://www.npr.org/2016/10/06/496749561/once-clintons-prosecutor-during-whitewater-now-a-clinton-supporter?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=news It's hard to imagine a less likely Hillary Clinton supporter than Michael Chertoff. Chertoff led the Republicans' 1990s probe into the Clintons' land deal, known as the Whitewater investigation -- and that led to the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Clinton would later vote against Chertoff for other key positions requiring Senate approval. In a dramatic turnaround, Chertoff just came out in support of Hillary Clinton for president. "The reality is ... it's a binary choice. This is not, 'What is your best outcome in the world,' " Chertoff tells NPR's Renee Montagne. "It is: You have two people, and which of the two would be better as president? And I think presented in that way, it was pretty clear to me that I should publicly take the step of saying that I would be planning to vote for Hillary Clinton." - - - Michael Chertoff is many things, but he is not an idiot. --Lauren-- Care About Science and Tech?
