Any solid info on the # of FBI agents investigating Clinton, when they

should have been investigating terra??
Have been looking for reliable stats on just what kind of diversion of resources (at Repuke instigation) were channeled into that useless waste of time and money, at the possible expense of the safety of this nation?

2. Same number I was about to post - 350 was stated as it went to Senate

Should be in an archive somewhere.

CIA was thought to also be "helping" GOP get dirt on Clinton - contrary to law - but then again it was secret!

3. Probably Total FBI hours would be better

Since I'm sure most FBI investigators work many cases at the same time, total # of agents might be a bit bogus. Perhaps total FBI field agent hours would be a better value - but I doubt there's any good figures on this.

Whatever the figure, it was way more than it should have been.

7. Lived in Arkansas at the time and

I don't know a number, but do remember hearing on the news that every FBI agent in AR was working on the Starr investigation - absolutely none available for anything else.

10. I've tried searching some of the impeachment archives on-line but

really have not found anything reliable, but will keep looking.
I really wish that people remembered and brought up the fact that Clinton DID attempt at least to deal with bin Laden and was crucified for it by the Repukes who wanted him gone.
If Clinton was not as strong on terrorism as he should have been, much of the blame must fall on those Repukes that tied his hands with their sleazy diversionary tactics.
