What mystifies is why these people who have swallowed so much from the Clintons over the years should be aghast now. The Great Pardoner's explanation in the Times wasn't even completely off the press before its editors had to start fiddling with the text in an inadequate attempt to cover up his deceptions. It seems Slick William's explanations are no longer as slick now that he's no longer in the White House. Maybe because he doesn't have the same extensive, publicly paid staff to help him do damage control. His staff reduced, Bill Clinton may find it harder and harder to sell his line.
Writing is hard work.
At least good writing is. Clearly he needs a bigger crew behind the scenes. Then there's Hugh Rodham. Every president seems to have a Hugh Rodham. He's already pardoned brother Roger, who now has been arrested again, this time on a drunk-driving charge.
