Roughly 30 years ago, back when a couple of Chicago Tribune reporters violated the hell out of federal law (Gun control Act of 1968), then wrote a series of articles detailing what they had done, and how they did it, a federal grand jury for the Southern District of Iowa brought in a 2 count felony indictment against one of the reporters. The relevant United States Attorney for that district, one Alan Doneleson, declined to prosecute the indictment.
At the time, I wrote to the gentleman, criticizing his action/inaction, and inquiring, among other things, as to "what the wattage of the red light that must surely adorn his office door was".
After about 10 or so days, I got a response from his office, I don't know if he actually wrote it or if it came from his clerk, secretary or perhaps from the elevator operator in the building, however it said, "50 watts, but it's a small office".
Re this final episode of Clinton and "free passes", I'm given to wonder as to two things. How was this arranged, though recognizing that the Clinton-Reno "Dept of Justice" were involved, there are all sorts of possibilities. Second question concerns the wattage of the red light that adorns the Independent Counsels office.

) I like saying that) doesn't have to pardon him now. That is a good thing for all of us, I think. It's depressing and disturbing to see,again, that some people are truly above the law. I realize it has been this way since man first strapped on a loin cloth, but it burns me up. Makes it kind of tuff to raise kids with the proper moral perspective with people like Mr. Bill thumbing his nose at us all.
