Re: I always knew Clinton wished he was Hitler!

I seem to remember something about Clinton getting FBI files on his political opponents. That is the Law enforcement apparatus, though, not intelligence gathering. Maybe my little unnuanced mind can't see the differences.

clinton was rumored to have used his executive privilege to gain access to fbi files for political gain, but in reality they were routine background checks on all white house personnel and visitors. the right-wing press story that clinton got those on his opponents was an exercise in muddying the waters. it's pretty well documented. in fact, it was not the president who got blamed for it. it was the first lady who was claimed to be getting it through the president in preparation for her senate run.
