| | Whitewater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Legal access to whitewater is a big issue in England and Wales. | | | The public are only allowed access to a tiny proportion of the available whitewater, and often this is restricted to a few months or even a few days per year. | | | In Scotland, like most of the rest of the world, access to whitewater is legal and has never been illegal. |

| | Whitewater was a way to augment Bill Clinton's small salary as state attorney general and meet Hillary Clinton's desire for a family nest egg. | | | Even to D'Amato, it must now be clear that the Whitewater scandal's sluggish pace and muddy facts will never match the fast-flowing crystal-clear image of its name. | | | In the campaign's final days, U.S. Attorney Banks complained to the FBI that he was being pressured to initiate criminal proceedings. |

| | You must understand the central fact about the Whitewater Development Corporation: It was not the main crime. | | | This left our dignified Congressmen sternly chasing the remaining 1% of petty misdemeanors with hardly a mention of fourteen years of felonies: shell games, killings, break-ins, coverups, threats, bribes, thefts, check kiting, payoffs, arson, money laundering, fraud, influence of testimony, tampering with witnesses, you name it. | | | Weep for the taxpayer who bails out their banks. |
