"In Revolutionary France and 16th century England and Pol Pot's Cambodia and Pinochet's Chile and Stalin's Soviet Union and Mao's China, the prosecutors were always engaged in enforcing the laws of the nation."

Are you seriously comparing the laws of the United States of America to those of Cambodia, Chile, USSR and China?

"You call it prosecution, but I call it persecution. It's political payback, designed to invalidate and delegitimize the previous government and political opposition."

Speaking of Whitewater, it should be simple enough to have an impartial commission decide all of this one way or another. The RWnuts spent eight years and $60 million hounding Clinton and there was no talk of Banana Republics then. If no laws were broken I don't see why you're so scared of having your day in court. 

"That's the kind of stuff that goes on in banana republics..."

Saying it doesn't make it so. We are a nation of laws. If laws were violated then action should be taken. If no laws were violated then no action will be taken. It's as simple as that.

Why do you hate the American legal system so much?
