Clinton would avenge the little guy on those who cashed in on the Decade of Greed. Take their response to Whitewater itself. Stands to reason. The Clintons do not just deny wrongdoing in Whitewater. They take offense at the very suggestion.
Offense comes easily to the self-righteous.
And this is an Administration bursting with self-righteousness. The '80s figure prominently in their demonology. They ran against it with great zeal in 1992. She represented Madison before a regulator appointed by her own husband. And succeeding, until Whitewater.
