In fact, Reno ordered an inquiry into allegations regarding Clinton fund raising..but then, at Ken Starr's request, deferred to his independent investigation.

Yep...There were people found guilty of violations of law regarding campaign finances...but none while acting in an official capacity in the Clinton administration.

And yet, that still doesnt equal findings of 4-5 high level Bush DoJ officials found guilty (or still under investigation and facing possible disbarment) for violations of administrative law and agency policies and procedures for political purposes in the performance of official duties of the DoJ.

The rest of your nonsense about keno and state crimes of genocide is jibberish to me.

BTW, if we want to consider criminal acts while in office, I believe there were at least eight Bush officials who served time as a result of criminal activity while in office.....most of whom were charged with some form of corruption:

Scoooter LIbby, the VP's chief of staff, found guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice and sentenced to 30 months in jail for his role in the Plame affair....with the sentence commuted by Bush

David Safavian, chief-of-staff of the General Services Administration and the head procurement official of the federal government sentenced to prison for 18 months on corruption charges related to the Jack Abramoff lobbyist scandal.

Italia Federici, a top political aide to Sec of Interior Gail Norton, received a two month sentence in a halfway house for obstructing the Senate investigation into Abramoff and for tax evasion

Steven Griles (Federici's lover) and the number two official at the Interior Department, also received 10 months in jail for his part in the Abramoff scandal.

Dusty Fago, a top level official at the CIA, received a three year prison sentence on corruption charges.

Bob Stein, the comptroller of the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq, received nine years in prison for money laundering, conspiracy and bribery.

Felipe Sixto, Bush's White House director of intergovernmental affairs sentenced to 30 months in prison for stealing nearly $600,000 from a government-funded program that promotes democracy in Cuba.

and my favorite:
Brian Doyle, a deputy press secretary at the Department of Homeland Security, was sentenced to five years in jail for attempting to use a DHS computer to seduce a child.

Do you see the difference between your unsubstantiated and still undocumented allegations about Reno and the Clinton DoJ as opposed to the 4-5 Bush DoJ officials found guilty (or still under investigation and facing possible disbarment) by internal DoJ IG investigations of violating the law and/or administrative policies for political purposes, as well as the above examples of corruption and other crimes in the performance of official duties?
