He USED to be respected as a conservative. There is a real disappointment in that he seemed to be straddling the fence in his press conference. He chastised Clinton for irresponsible handling of Classified information. He laid out a case FOR indicting--and proceeded to NOT indict. No one believes that a mere serf (lower level employee) would have gotten a "Get Out of Jail card" for the same violations. No one, that is, who is intellectually and consistently honest.
