Hmmm. I wonder what prosecutors think of this mentality…

Mark Fabiani, who as White House special counsel played a key role in defending the Clintons, said she was “so tortured by the way she’s been treated that she would do anything to get out of the situation. . . . And if that involved not being fully forthcoming, she herself would say, ‘I have a reason for not being forthcoming.’ ” Her logic, he said, was: “If we do this, they’re going to do this to me. If we say this, then they’re going to say this. You know, [expletive] ‘em, let’s just not do that.”

Didn’t Martha Stewart get nailed on obstruction of justice for not being forthcoming with investigators? How is this different, exactly? Wouldn’t Martha Stewart and just about every other subject of an investigation believe that they’re being treated unfairly? Does this mean it’s okay for them to not be forthcoming, too?
