IIRC, CDC was signed as part of legislative bargaining with an opposition Congress. (I could be wrong about that, though.) My point is that after Whitewater, Monica, Travelgate, Vince Foster and a hundred other partisan investigations of the Clinton White House, Blondie McLezbo will be gunning for everyone to the right of Nancy Pelosi. And she would instrut her DOJ and White House Counsel accordingly.

I'm not against holding the Republicans' feet to the fire per se. THere's many I'd like to see go down, starting with Richard Mellon Scaife. But this culture we have where every 4-8 years the party in power goes on a jihad of partisan prosecutions just ain't good for the country. Unfortunately, it's only going to get worse.
