No they just don't go to prison. Clinton pardoned them all back then and hides them now.

Many commit suicide. Somehow with shots to the back of the head. Clinton/jail? Surely you jest. They are slippery when wet.

This campaign donations bundler from China will disappear quietly. Now Hillbill says they will pay attention. How can you accept such large donations and not check the people out? There is no excuse here. Top Democratic fundraiser Hsu is being investigated for swindling over 60 million from contributors. ABC News crawl today. AND NOBODY noticed?

You can also add some Republican totals to the list. We always get into a one sided debate here when in reality Campaign reform is only barely working. Politicians escape the law and some get caught. The Clinton's. no matter what your politics you need to admit get away with alot of unscrupulous behavior Scott free.
They have alot of debts to be paid. Should America wake up and Vote against her in office it may be very interesting. She'll have to work at being a Senator. Yes, they have alot of friends that could end up enemies. You play with thieves you get treated as a thief. Thank you.

Greetings. of course they have an exclusive prison for political types that many times had committed crimes that would have called for execution if they were citizens here. And Bush's friends will not go to it. they will not be charged with anything and if it goes to the world court they will simply be hung for crimes against humanity and war crimes. which is only proper don't you think? The federal political, or prison for politicians, since most of our prisoners in ordinary prisons are actually political prisoners but not politicians, are supposed to be resorts with guards not to keep them from escaping but to protect them from the people outside, who very well might wish to string them up.

No, they go to the same prison where all the other friends of politicians, Democrat AND Republican, go... and yes, it IS overcrowded. If you are trying to indicate that the Clinton's have more illegal friends than other politicians, including Republicans, then you are very naive at best.

Why should they get preferential treatment? Guantanamo is more appropriate for them

They have to go to their own exclusive prison
because

most of the Federal Prisons are overcrowded with this administrations appointees and cronies


It is always wise to clean out your own backyard before whining about the neighbors

World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz, one of the architects of the Iraq war as deputy defense secretary, acknowledged he erred in helping a female friend he is dating to get transferred to a high-paying job at the State Department while remaining on the World Bank payroll. The revelations fueled calls from the bank's staff association for him to resign.

_ Matteo Fontana, a Department of Education official who oversaw the student loan industry, was put on leave after disclosure that he owned at least $100,000 worth of stock in a student loan company.

_ Lurita Doan, head of the General Services Administration, attended a luncheon at the agency earlier this year with other top GSA political appointees at which Scott Jennings, a top Rove aide, gave a PowerPoint demonstration on how to help Republican candidates in 2008. A congressional committee is investigating whether the remarks violated a federal law that restricts executive-branch employees from using their positions for political purposes.

_ Julie MacDonald, who oversees the Fish and Wildlife Service but has no academic background in biology, overrode recommendations of agency scientists about how to protect endangered species and improperly leaked internal information to private groups, the Interior Department's inspector general said.

Increasing coziness between federal officials and the industries they oversee "is not endemic to any particular administration in Washington," said Fred Wertheimer, president of Democracy 21, which seeks to reduce the role of money in politics. "This has been an ongoing problem for some time now."

Potential conflicts "come into heavier play in the second term of two-term administrations because people who have been there for some time start leaving," said Wertheimer.

Both the House and the Senate, responding to voter frustration with corruption and special interest influence in Washington, have approved ethics and lobbying measures. But they apply only to members of Congress, restricting their gifts and free travel, and not to the executive branch.

Republicans like to emphasize that scandals, some large, most small, happen under Democratic presidents too. But Bush's critics say the number of current ethics allegations is unusually high. And they say evidence is strong of close links between the Bush administration and certain industries such as energy and defense.

For instance, Philip Cooney, a former oil-industry lobbyist who became chief of staff for the White House Council on Environmental Quality, acknowledged to a House committee last month that he edited three government reports to eliminate or downplay links between greenhouse gases and global warming - and defended the changes. He left the government in 2005 to work for Exxon Mobil Corp. (nyse: XOM - news - people )

Former Air Force procurement officer Darleen Druyun served nine months in prison in 2005 for violating conflict-of-interest rules after agreeing to lease Boeing (nyse: BA - news - people ) refueling tankers for $23 billion, despite Pentagon studies showing the tankers were unnecessary. After making the deal, she quit the government to join Boeing.

Scooter Libby, former chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney, became the first high-level White House official to be indicted while in office in more than 100 years.

He was convicted of perjury and obstruction of justice in a grand jury's investigation of the outing of CIA operative Valierie Plame. The trial also implicated Rove and Cheney in a campaign to discredit her husband, retired diplomat and Iraq war critic Joe Wilson.

Ties between Bush administration officials and convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff also taken its toll in the executive branch, as it has in Congress.

J. Steven Griles, a former oil and gas lobbyist who became deputy interior secretary, last month became the highest-ranking administration official convicted in the Abramoff influence-peddling scandal, pleading guilty to obstructing justice by lying to a Senate committee about his relationship with Abramoff. Abramoff repeatedly sought Griles' intervention at Interior on behalf of Indian tribal clients.

Former White House aide, David H. Safavian, was convicted last year of lying to government investigators about his ties to Abramoff and faces an 180-month prison sentence. Roger Stillwell, a former Interior Department official, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for not reporting tickets he received from Abramoff.

Not all the administration officials who have left under a cloud have been accused of white-collar misconduct.

Claude Allen, who was Bush's domestic policy adviser, pleaded guilty to theft in making phony returns at discount department stores. He was sentenced last summer to two years of supervised probation and fined $500.
