Thanks, GunnyG
This is such a travesty, and almost no one is talking about it. If he were a Republican, he would be in jail! It's getting to be a losing battle.
All the MSM seems to care about is Clinton's legacy. (Love the picture.)

That's why God created us bloggers.
To keep ramming the liberal lies and garbage down the necks of the sheeple until they choke on it and DO SOMETHING about it!

More or less means, "What the Gods are allowed, the cows are not."
Thus a crook under the arm of one of the Gods...read that political elite of EITHER party...will get a slap on the wrist while someone else with a streak of larceny will get a big-ugly cell partner for a couple of years.
Nixon was pardoned. Agnew (who lost his place with the Gods) was not.
Kerry goes to Paris and treats with the enemy;
Kerry lies to Congress;
Kennedy kills Mary Jo; Another
Kennedy gets a DUI; Other
Kennedys beat rape charges;

Missing interns; Underage sex; DC mayor crack addict;.....get the picture? Understand where they will not be indicted YOU will get 10 years.

The dichotomy of the ruling class
Buck's right. Both parties are prone to leniency regarding their "insiders".
Clinton could have been prosecuted for perjury and obstruction of justice, but Democrat jduges and prosecutors didn't push it.
If a regular citizen had done the same thing, he'd have done time.
William Jefferson (D-LA) took bribes (a criminal offense) but he'll never see the inside of a jail cell. Instead, we (the people) are chastised for not following the concept of "innocent until proven guilty".
That concept only applies INSIDE A COURTROOM. It doesn't apply out here on the street. Clinton, Berger and Jefferson all should be in jail.

Well said.
If anything, the insiders should get HAMMERED worse because they know better.
I've said it before, the people will only take so much....

Gunny, that's one of the concepts
from Plato's Republic that I remember and tend to like, that the punishment fits not only the level of the crime but the level of public trust and responsibility of the perpetrator, which would pretty much be the opposite of what we now have.
Using your perjury example, the average shmuck gets five years, someone who holds the public trust (i.e. a police officer or government official) doing the same thing gets MORE time not less, and the more important the level of public trust they hold (i.e. a judge, Congresscritter) the MORE time they get.

Unfortunately in our CJ system, the more MONEY or FAME you have, the lessor the punishment.

Criminal Justice
The more money you have, the more 'justice' you will receive.
Ask T. Cullen Davis
Which reminds me of a story Will Rogers used to tell about a Texas Criminal Attorney in Amarillo.
Seems he received a letter from a man in the Waco jail.
Dear Mr. Lawyer,
I am in jail, charged with killing my wife's boyfriend. I don't have an alibi but I do have $2000.00
Signed...
To wit the lawyer replied:
Dear Sir:
I am on my way to Waco with 2 eyewitnesses to your self-defense.
Signed

That about sums it up. Will Rogers was a smart guy.
