Really? So you think charging Bill Clinton with obstruction of justice that ultimately resulted in the suspension of his law license and two separate fines of $25,000 and $90,000 was "political" to the point of engendering a Banana Republic? Do you think Nixon wouldn't have been impeached AND convicted had he not resigned? Somehow our republic has survived. Despite your assertions, nothing is more "Banana Republic" than different standards of justice for the politically well-connected and ordinary Americans.
