QUICK question: How many indictments under Reagan? Clinton?
I don't know quite what I'm trying to ask here. How many people were convicted of crimes in Reagan's admin as opposed to Clinton's. I can't remember, but I believe the number was staggering.

1. 138 Reagan, I think Clinton had 2, Ciseneras and Brown, but

Brown died before anything happened. There is also Web Hubbell, but he was basically indicted and convicted for taking money from the Clintons.

3. According to Sy Hersh
http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/movable_type/2004_archives/000987.html

"He then turned to the 40th president, referring obliquely to 138 names, then began to list them, saying those with long memories will catch on: they were the Reagan administration figures accused, indicted, or convicted of wrongdoing.... "

Don't know about Clinton. There was the Housing guy who paid off his mistress...the guy who died in the plane crash was being investigated, I think...but that's all I can think of.

5. Hehe, will Bush 2 top Reagan ...

I sincerely believe that the indictments in the 2nd Bush admin will easily top Reagan administration indictments.
