One of the big remaining Clinton arguments is that Hillary has been "fully vetted," while Obama is a question mark who might be vulnerable to unexpected attacks from the GOP -- i.e. an "October surprise."
The Washington Times this morning has a piece that reflects the problem with that argument. It adds a few facts, but no game changers, to one of the most vulnerable parts of Hillary's "vetted" past -- her claim to have known nothing about a fraudulent real estate deal that she did work on as a lawyer in Arkansas.
The WT story reports on documents describing internal deliberations among Starr prosecutors about whether to indict her for lying (they never did). What is interesting is the unexpected source of the story, which suggests that it's a mistake to ever be confident that something strange won't come flying in at you out of a left field you never thought of.
Here's how the paper got the documents
"Ordinarily, such files containing grand jury evidence and prosecutors' deliberations are never made public. But the estate of Sam Dash, a lifelong Democrat who served as the ethics adviser to Whitewater Independent Counsel Kenneth W. Starr, donated his documents from the infamous 1990s investigation to the Library of Congress after his 2004 death, unwittingly injecting into the public domain much of the testimony and evidence gathered against Mrs. Clinton from former law partners, White House aides and other witnesses."
The point: There's lots of stuff about Hillary in lots of places no one ever thought of. When the stakes are the presidency, there's no such thing as "fully vetted."
