    For the record, I find Trump and found/find Clinton to be poor moral leaders and sad examples of presidents. I agreed with more of Clinton's political initiatives than Trumps, but disagreed with several. I don't find "but he was worse" a very compelling argument.
    Did you read the last paragraph before the footnote? I'll assume not.

        You might be surprised how many of them are "do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do" about this. From the celebutards that surround themselves with gun-toting bodyguards to folks like the late Carl Rowan.

          Considering the level and scope of the scrutinization I'm actually somewhat surprised at how few indictments there were. Compare it, for example to Bill Clinton.

          Here is a list of 40 Clinton associates who were convicted of various crimesconvicted of 18 felonies and died in prison. Before his death he turned on Clinton who he previously staunchly defended[1]

          Susan McDougal served 18 months for refusing to answer questions for a grand jury, on whether President Bill Clinton lied in his testimony during her Whitewater trial and immediately afterwards began a two year sentence for four counts of fraud and conspiracy relating to the Whitewater scandal but was later pardoned by Bill Clinton (a reward for keeping her mouth shut?).

          Jim Guy Tucker was convicted of one count of conspiracy and one count of mail fraud and forced to resign as Governor. He was given a lenient sentence of four years' probation and house detention because of his poor health (a month after his conviction he received a liver transplant).

          And then there was Hillary's law partner Webster Hubbell, who Bill appointed Associate Attorney General, who pled guilty to one count of wire fraud and one count of tax fraud and sentenced to 21 months. Later he entered a plea bargain agreement where he pled guilty to one charge of failing to disclose a potential conflict of interest in exchange for having all charges dropped against his his wife, his lawyer, his accountant and got probation.

          What makes Hubbell especially interesting is what he said while in prison during a phone call to his wife (all calls from prisoners are recorded)

          Source: Jail Tapes Portray Hubbell As Clinton Loyalist


          Talking to his wife in 1996 while in a federal prison serving out his sentence for embezzling from his former clients and partners at Little Rock's Rose Law Firm, Hubbell repeatedly expressed concern for one of those former partners: Hillary Rodham Clinton.

          "I will not raise those allegations that might open it up to Hillary," Hubbell told his wife Suzanna in one phone call, responding to a White House friend's fear that his dispute with the law firm could create problems for the first lady. "So I need to roll over one more time."

          "So I need to roll over one more time."

          And of course there were also those associated with all of the money funneled from China to the Clinton-Gore campaign through Buddhist monasteries and other means -- the one where FBI agents came forward at the time (unheard of back then) to publicly complain that Clinton's DoJ interfered with the investigation and folks like "Charlie" Trie, John Huang, James Riady, and Maria Hsia were convicted of various crimes.

          This isn't to excuse having a number of associates with shady behavior but rather to note that it isn't anything new, especially if the president is being heavily investigated.

          Source: James McDougal's Last Word Is A Tell-All Book


          McDougal alleged that in the 1980s, he and a longtime businessman at McDougal's S&L, Henry Hamilton, "developed a system to pass money to Clinton," then governor of Arkansas. "I considered it just another way of helping to take care of Bill.

          "A contractor agreed to pad my monthly construction bill by $2,000," McDougal wrote. "The contractor put the figure on his invoice as a cost for gravel or culvert work. After I paid the full amount ... the contractor reimbursed me the $2,000. I turned the money over to Henry to give to Clinton."

          Hamilton is dead.

          "Once, after I handed Henry his latest consignment of 20 hundred-dollar bills to relay to the governor's office, he turned the bills over and over in one hand, like a magician," McDougal said. "Henry grinned. `You know,' he said, `Caesar had his Brutus, Charles the First had Cromwell. Clinton could profit from these examples if he crosses us.'"

                      I meant that the idea that MSM has destroyed its credibility is wishful thinking. If that were possible, it would have been done long since.

                          The letter from Barr revealed Mueller was unable to draw a conclusion

                          Plus, we still have the certainty of US Intel that Russia meddled in the election, the slew of indited Trump associates with Russian connections and a raft of investigations being conducted by the NY Southern District Court.

                            In other words, if you're never charged with a crime then there's nothing to be exonerated from.

                            As for the SDNY, they're under the purview of AG Barr, and he's not going to simply let them pick up the investigation where Mueller left off.

                              • That's a whole lot stronger than Comey's laying out a solid case for convicting Hillary, then choking and declaring 'no reasonable prosecutor' would take the case.
