I was wondering about all those clowns from the Watergate and Iran-Contra eras as well but I read now how those guys resigned before they were indicted. http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,1280,-5377092,00.html So "Scooter" Libby is the first White House <i>staff member</i> to be indicted <b>while in office</b> since Grant's administration. Could that be considered an <i>official</i> interpretation of the record? Thank you, I get the distinction now.
