Former Whitewater Independent Counsel Robert W. Ray, who eventually wrote the final report accusing Mrs. Clinton of lying to investigators, found a healthy dose of déjà vu in her fresh attack on the Durham probe.
Ray succeeded original Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth Starr, whose investigation of the Monica Lewinsky affair led to President Bill Clinton's impeachment on grounds he lied in a federal deposition about having sexual relations with the White House intern.
Ray's completion of the investigation after impeachment closed the book on the core allegations about the Whitewater land deal in Arkansas, the Clintons' relationship with a failed Arkansas savings and loan known as Madison Guaranty, Mrs. Clinton's legal services for that S&L and other scandals wrapped into the probe, including the firing of the White House travel office staff in 1993.
While the Whitewater probe led to numerous convictions, including S&L owner and Whitewater business partner James McDougal, Ray ultimately decided there was insufficient evidence to indict either of the Clintons and sustain a conviction.
His final report included a stinging rebuke of both Clintons, including findings that: Bill Clinton "Knowingly gave evasive and misleading answers concerning" his relationship with Lewinsky.
Hillary Clinton gave false testimony when she denied having input on the firing of the White House career travel office staff in 1993 after Bill Clinton became president.
"So you know, you're not talking about a stretch of five years to be able to accomplish results. It's kind of in the 18-months-to-three-year category. You get in there, you do what you can do, and then you have to get out. And that's all the time that you have." Ray said the current Durham probe has raised serious questions that need to be answered about whether the Clinton campaign was able to lure the FBI and intelligence community into impacting the electoral process by investigating Trump on a false premise.
It's becoming increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction, and unfortunately the media has a strong bias. They spin stories to make conservatives look bad and will go to great lengths to avoid reporting on the good that comes from conservative policies. There are a few shining lights in the media landscape-brave conservative outlets that report the truth and offer a different perspective. We must support conservative outlets like this one and ensure that our voices are heard.
