Oh yea, a complete waste of taxpayer money to investigate an apparent and blatant case of corruption.
No corruption? See below for number of convictions. I would love to see any type of defense, any type at all, to hear how any of these folks weren't found guilty. An injustice in the legal system? Can't wait to hear your non-response.
The specifics and link.
Whitewater;Bill Clinton had known Arkansas businessman and political figure Jim McDougal since 1968, and had made a previous small real estate investment with him in 1977.[9] Clinton and Hillary Rodham were seeking ways of supplementing his salary of $26,500 as Arkansas Attorney General (which would rise to $35,000 if his campaign for Governor of Arkansas succeeded) and hers of $24,500 as Rose Law Firm associate.[10][11] It was around this time that Rodham also began trading cattle futures.[9]
In spring of 1978, McDougal proposed that Clinton and Rodham join him and his wife Susan in buying 230 acres (0.93 km2) of undeveloped land along the south bank of the White River near Flippin, Arkansas, in the Ozark Mountains. The goal was to subdivide the site into lots for vacation homes, intended for the many people coming south from Chicago and Detroit who were interested in low property taxes, fishing, rafting, and mountain scenery. The plan was to hold the property for a few years and then sell the lots at a profit.[9]
The four borrowed $203,000 to buy land, and subsequently transferred ownership of the land to the newly created Whitewater Development Corporation, in which all four participants had equal shares;[9] Susan McDougal chose[12] the name "Whitewater Estates";[13] their sales pitch was, "One weekend here and you'll never want to live anywhere else."[11] The business was incorporated on June 18, 1979.

Removal of documents[edit]
Within hours of the death of Vince Foster in July 1993, chief White House counsel Bernard Nussbaum removed documents, some of them concerning the Whitewater Development Corporation, from Foster's office and gave them to Maggie Williams, Chief of Staff to the First Lady. According to the New York Times, Williams placed them in a safe in the White House for five days before turning them over to their personal lawyer.[25]"
The number of convictions is fairly telling also Ultimately the Clintons were never charged, but 15 other persons were convicted of more than 40 crimes, including Bill Clinton's successor as Governor, who was removed from office.[44]

Or will you ignore this also? As each day passes forkie your arguments are being exposed as lame, misleading and completely untrue, not to mention fairly humorous.
BTW How many people have been killed(not shot) by a 30 mag holder lately?
