...that appears to have been forced to accept a plea agreement to avoid further humiliation. After all, the deal came days before the deadline on which the government would have been forced to hand over thousand of pages of documents explaining why Lee had been arrested. And in his ire, the judge expressed regret Wednesday that the government hadn't been forced to account for itself in this...

Gore did some serious tiptoeing to deflect most of the unions' ire onto Clinton, who could afford it; now Gore's got the China bill's - and NAFTA's - main champion as his right-hand...
