" Over the years, many liberal pundits and journalists, including Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein, have dismissed the myriad of Clinton Administration scandals as not being the equal of Watergate. Ironically, however, even just one Clinton scandal -- which George Stephanopolous admits in his book, All Too Human, has the potential to be the most serious scandal -- surpasses the Nixon-era legacy. In Watergate, men posing as plumbers but acting under the direction of President Nixon's top advisors broke into the Democratic National Committee to conduct political espionage. In Filegate, the Clinton Administration's own "plumbers," acting under the direction of Hillary Rodham Clinton, broke into hundreds, if not thousands, of FBI and other government files. This represents the most widespread violation of constitutionally protected privacy rights in American history. And, as was true of the Nixon scandals, monies (albeit this time at taxpayers' expense) have been paid to key witnesses in Filegate, perhaps to keep them silent."
