Amen.
Hallelujah. did you feel the same way after the tens of millions that netted zero on trumped-up counts against the Clintons(travelgate, whitewater, etc., etc., etc.)?
I admit I was disappointed because I viewed the corruptions and crimes much, much more significant. Just to cite Whitewater as an example, all the investigations and court decisions did find the crimes did occur and several of the Clinton's business associates were convicted of those crimes as a result of the whole mess. It just happened that substantial proof of the Clintons roles in the crimes were not able to be made even though circumstantial evidence existed.
In this case, to repeat myself, the prosecutor has never even determined the original crime occurred has he? And the crime did not involve embezzlement and other similar serious crimes for personal gain, but simply a matter of a very questionable crime of who revealed what about a very questionable status of somebody being a covert agent in the CIA, and even if somebody did reveal it, whether they did it knowing the status was for sure covert. Seems a big stretch to manufacture much of a crime. This after 2 years.
