But ... But ... This Is Old News!

I still have that Four Years and $40 Million mantra echoing in my head all these years later.

Though now, apparently adjusted for inflation, it's $71.5 million and eight years.

Whatever the case may be, despite all the investigations, the very slippery Mrs. Clinton managed to avoid prosecution back in the 1990's through the very convenient disappearance of those old Rose Law Firm records. That and the relentless slander of Ken Starr.

Nothing will ever come of this, mind you. Those pantsuits are made of Teflon.
Hillary Rodham Clinton's Rose Law Firm billing records, found in the White House residence in January 1996 two years after they had been subpoenaed by government regulators, disappeared shortly after the first lady was warned that the firm's billing problems were "very serious" and the then-ongoing Whitewater investigation could result in criminal charges, newly obtained records show.

More than 1,100 pages of grand jury testimony, investigative reports, memos, charging documents, chronologies, narratives and draft indictments, previously undisclosed but now being "processed" at the Library of Congress, say Mrs. Clinton knew considerably more about the firm's billing problems and their potential ramifications than she publicly acknowledged at the time.
Cue the apologist:
"This is a baseless accusation which was looked into over a decade ago in an investigation that took $71.5 million and eight years to determine there was no case," said spokesman Jay Carson.
Tell that to Webster Hubbell.

In the meantime, there's another Norman Hsu-like donor being investigated. Nothing like risking jail time to support a candidate who's now going down in flames.
