Breaking US Law--- Clinton


As amusing as it was to watch the former President flip out on Wallace, what is less amusing is the content of what he actually said and admitted to. No other president has ever admitted to such a serious and clear violation of law. In his outrage Clinton did not stop and think clearly enough to realize what he was admitting to or common sense and basic logic would have surely prevailed.


"I worked hard to try to kill him. I authorized a finding for the CIA to kill him. We contracted with people to kill him. I got closer to killing him than anybody has gotten since."
—Former President Bill Clinton, Sept. 24, 2006
