INTRODUCTORY COMMENTARY
Clinton Legacy: Most Convictions, Crookedest
Cabinet, 31 Deaths
The Progressive Review
As the Democrats' torch (as well as their
contributor lists and FBI files) is passed to Al Gore,
we thought we'd bring you up to date on our Clinton
scandal statistics. Please note that, much as with the
Census, the collection of such data is a daunting
task, made all the more difficult by the failure of
the corporate media to show any interest in it.
Notes: Some of the data have not been updated
recently and thus understate conditions. In certain
areas, such as anomalous deaths, the Progressive
Review has used an extremely conservative count. It is
important in considering these incidents to bear in
mind the following:
1. The fact that anomalies need to be
investigated further carries no presumption of how a
death actually occurred, only that there remain
serious questions that require answers.
2. The possibility of foul play must be taken
seriously in a major criminal conspiracy in which more
than two score individuals and firms have already been
convicted and more than 100 witnesses have pleaded the
Fifth Amendment or fled the country.
3. If foul play did occur in any of these cases,
that fact by itself does not carry the presumption
that the White House was involved. Given the
footprints of organized crime, drug trade, foreign
espionage and intelligence agencies on the trail of
the Clinton story, such an assumption would be ill
advised.
The Progressive Review welcomes corrections and
additions and plans to publish a more definitive
version on the occasion upon the departure of the
Clinton administration. It is also planning a list of
those journalists and public officials who performed
best and worst during this egregious period of
American history. Any advice on this would be greatly
appreciated.
