President Clinton is in big trouble, not due to the November election but rather because of potential events thereafter.
His troubles are analogous to those of Spiro Agnew and his post-election nolo contendere plea. Perhaps even more so are they analogous to those of Richard Nixon and the subsequent resignation in the aftermath of Watergate.
Clinton’s troubles arise from Whitewater. As with Nixon and Agnew, the troubles are not immediate. Instead, during the interim they can simply be stonewalled, with the effect of their negative impact surfacing only after November.
But the negative impact that is of concern is not with respect to Clinton; rather, it is the negative impact on the country in general with the possible repeat of a prolonged, impending constitutional crisis.
