Clinton corruption.

Charles Smith recounts a questionable relationship between members of a computer manufacturers lobbying organization called the Computer Systems Policy Project (CSPP) and the Clinton White House in the early 1990s. Members of the CSPP included Apple, AT&T, Digital, Tandem and Silicon Graphics.

John Podesta -- Bill Clinton's Chief of Staff had a conflict of interest with his brother Tony Podesta. John "ran the Clinton policy for high-tech computer exports at the same time his brother - and former employer - ran the lobby effort [CSPP] for high-tech U.S. computer companies."

Silicon Graphics -- member of CSPP; "sold several supercomputers to a Russian nuclear weapons lab under the pretense of 'civilian' uses."

Tandem -- "concluded an exclusive $150 million export of mission-control computers for the Chinese Army Long March space rocket."

Clinton administration -- "made top-secret designs and top-secret contracts available to the CSPP computer companies. In exchange for their cooperation and silence, the companies would be given lucrative export deals and access to even more advanced technology left over from the cold war."

CSPP -- made "millions of dollars in donations and soft money" to Bill Clinton and Al Gore.

It's instructive to remember these kinds of tangled relationship, sweetheart deals, and payoffs from major manufacturers when we see the Angry Left swoon in veritable Meg Ryan orgasmatronic joy over Halliburton.

And, more ominously, it's important to remember that Ken Starr never laid a glove on the real putzim during Clinton's time, viz., the people who took money from Chinese government surrogates (i.e., Clinton) and the corporate swine who sold advanced dual-use technology and hardware to the Chinese. It was an abominable fact that Clinton's initial run for the presidency was saved by an infusion of cash from an Indonesian with ties to Chinese intelligence.

The Colonel has strongly believed that Starr deliberately chose the most ridiculous of charges against Clinton to pursue and ignored the highly explosive issues of the deaths of Vince Foster and Jerry Parks and the relationship that Bill Clinton had with the communist Chinese.

Monica was a fun diversion but it was never about Monica.
