But his prior comments during investigations into President Bill Clinton in a 1997 editorial in the Wall Street Journal also drew attention.
Nobody should underestimate the upheaval that a prosecution of the president would cause, he wrote in a March 6, 1997 piece published when independent counsel Kenneth Starr was only investigating financial irregularities in the Whitewater scandal and Clintons affair with a White House intern had not yet come to light. But we went through it once before, in Watergate, and survived. The nation, in fact, could conceivably benefit from the indictment of a president. It would teach the valuable civics lesson that no one is above the law.

I am waiting for his hateful wife to appear and "help" She is also an attorney.

I think everytime he comes on the TV to defend Donald Trump, he should be asked about this quote.

Then maybe we should be a little more careful and a little less cavalier in choosing the president.

Now that I think of it, a bad lawyer can too.

Don't you know that the rules are different when a president has a (D) after his name versus one that has an (R) after it.
