At CPAC yesterday, Trump claimed Democrats investigating his "deals" before he assumed office was "sick." Yet Republicans spent years investigating the Clinton's' involvement in the failed 1979 Whitewater real estate deal, once Bill Clinton assumed office in 1992, making it one of the biggest political controversies of the 1990s.
It began with an investigation into the real estate investments of Bill and Hillary Clinton and their associates, Jim McDougal and Susan McDougal, in the Whitewater Development Corporation. While Special Counsel Kenneth Starr failed to find criminality by the Clinton's in that deal, he did eventually dig up other dirt in the course of that investigation, namely Bill Clinton's affair with Monica Lewinsky that he denied in a deposition, which Republicans used to impeach Clinton.
The Whitewater failed business venture was incorporated in 1979 with the purpose of developing vacation properties on land along the White River near Flippin, Arkansas. The Clinton's lost between $37,000 and $69,000 on their Whitewater investment. Trump, on the other hand, has made hundreds of millions of dollars in shady deals with Russians, our biggest geopolitical adversary.
Any time Republicans claim investigation of Trump's old finances is off limits, we need to remind them of what they did with Whitewater.
On Edit: On AM Joy today, Seema Iyer, former prosecutor and defense attorney, noted that n 2017, the NY Times published a a secret memo by Kenneth Starr's attorneys finding that sitting presidents CAN be indicted for crimes committed before taking office. Something else to throw back in Republicans' face!

I've mentioned this and yes, it's true. "Special prosecutor" has been replaced by "special counsel". *handjob*
If you're president and had complex business dealings before being elected, be prepared to be investigated. It's part of the show now.

as I recall people actually went to jail over Whitewater........guess that pretty much fucks up your parallel doesn't it.......
One, Susan McDougal who was charged with contempt of court. She was asked questions which she says, others had already lied about. She said her truthful testimony would look like perjury because 2 other witnesses had been pressured into saying things she said were not true. She decided to not answer.
Her contempt charge is not pertinent to Clinton. So as usual, you are wrong.,

You run for president, you open yourself up for examination.

Maxine Waters says that Deutsche bank is turning over paperwork on Trump's financing. She will have great fun with that.

Nevertheless, the investigation resulted in 14 convictions and two acquittals.
