It wasn’t that you fired those prosecutors. It was that you lied about it. How hard can that concept be to understand? And why does each new generation of politicians seemingly have to learn it over again? Don’t they remember Watergate? Irancontra? For god’s sake, Bill was impeached for lying under oath, not for screwing with Monica! It wasn’t the initial act that brought them down. It was the lies and cover ups.
I guess it is true that those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
