		The Whitewater scandal was an American political scandal which developed in President Bill Clinton's first term as president, after the death of deputy White House counsel Vincent Foster.
		At President Clinton's request, a special prosecutor was appointed in 1994 by the Department of Justice to investigate the legality of Whitewater transactions.

		The January 24, 1994 Newsweek declared, with remarkable candor, that "in the Whitewater scandal, Clinton's real problem may be letting his frustration overcome his judgment." Which, according to most judicial precedents has yet to become a punishable offense.

		The Republican special prosecutor Kenneth Starr is the wrong man to run the Whitewater investigation into the financial shenanigans of the Clintons and their Arkansas associates.
		The Iran-contra scandal also involved the misappropriation of tens of millions of U.S. government dollars that disappeared into foreign bank accounts controlled by Reagan's deputies.
		On his present course, Starr could become as big a scandal as the one he was hired to investigate.

		Throughout the eighties, conservatives bore the brunt of this persecutory zeal and were thus the most outspoken critics of its excesses; one of the first and at the time only, liberals to acknowledge the existence of the "machine" was columnist Juan Williams, during Clarence Thomas's confirmation hearings.
		In Whitewater, the ratio of scandalmongering to real wrongdoing is especially disproportionate: Even if, at worst, President Clinton was somehow knowingly involved in the tangle of shady, decade-old transactions that sparked the original Whitewater stories, it has no bearing on his presidency.
		The Whitewater scandal may have been initiated by the Clintons' political opponents, but it has been legitimized and perpetuated by years of front-page press coverage.

	Enron as Whitewater By Jacob Weisberg
		To them, Whitewater was a politically motivated fishing expedition that failed to uncover any significant executive branch wrongdoing—even though the prosecutorial juggernaut it set in motion was nearly terminal to the Clinton presidency.
		In their view, Whitewater was an investigation into personal corruption and a cover-up on the part of the president and his wife that led, albeit indirectly, to resignations, convictions, and one impeachment.
		The primary difference between Whitewater, or for that matter any other Clinton or Reagan "scandal" and Enron is not the possible effect of Enron on any particular politician or group thereof, but the possible effect on politics and governance.

		To read the great metropolitan newspapers, observe the grave demeanor of network TV anchors, and heed the rhetoric of the politicians and radio talk-show hosts who have made the issue their own, one would gather that the republic teeters on the brink of a constitutional crisis.

	The Whitewater Scandal [Free Republic]
		By the time Clinton had made it through the primaries, however, the media had decided that Whitewater was irrelevant; "it was about the issues." Besides, the news media was more interested in juicy allegations of marital infidelity, pot-smoking, and draft-dodging.
		They discovered that Whitewater was part of a larger pattern of the way business, politics, police, the judiciary, and the news media in Arkansas operated in a way that was to "mutual benefit." Furthermore, evidence of a cover-up of Whitewater in Washington was revealed."
		The Clinton's had their 'fingers' in that pie, IMHO, and convicted or not, Madison Guaranty and Whitewater were 'shams' that such smart people as the Clintons should not have been involved with especially with the 'squeaky clean' campaigns and the ethics they lay claim to.

		It was a March 8, 1992, story by Jeff Gerth in the Times that invented the Whitewater "scandal," a convoluted Arkansas land deal involving Bill and Hillary Clinton and their friends Jim and Susan McDougal.
		The Whitewater "scandal," which haunted President Clinton during his eight years in office, started in March 1992 when New York Times reporter Jeff Gerth wrote an imprecise account that combined a prosecutorial tone with a misleading storyline.

	The Unknown and Deadly Side of the Whitewater Scandal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Whitewater was only a pretext set up by Jim McDougal and the Clintons to milk millions of dollars from the SBA, banks, Arkansas Development Finance Authority, and Madison Guaranty Savings & Loan (which was later bailed out by us taxpayers to the tune of $65 million).
		In the Whitewater case, it was 230 acres of land along the White River for about $90,000.
		Using Whitewater as a prop, Bill and his partner Jim McDougal milked, by my rough estimate several million dollars from the SBA and at least five or six banks and S&Ls, starting with the Bank of Kingston.

		There was nothing remarkable about that conclusion, nor about the independent counsel's strenuous literary effort to justify a breathtaking expenditure of time, not to mention $73 million, in the pursuit of partisan goals.

	This press corps doesn't do self-critique. Fools for Scandal--and Whitewater--proved it.
		Thus ended the defining scandal of the Clinton era—a scandal that had begun with a lengthy story in the New York Times on March 8, 1992.
		But the press corps' failure to reexamine the Whitewater story was especially remarkable, in our view, given the way the original Whitewater reporting had been deconstructed in Gene Lyons' Fools for Scandal.
		LYONS: Far from being the result of muckraking reporting by a vigorous and independent press, what "the Clinton scandals" amount to is possibly the most politically charged case of journalistic malpractice in recent American history.
