In mid-1996, still bogged down with the Paula Jones Scandal, a case that refused to quickly go away, while preparing for another sexual scandal, the Monica Lewinski case, Bill Clinton and his top White House team put together a political retaliation plan meant to retaliate against and then neutralize the Republican Party and key elected Republican officials. The main objective of the plan was to: Collect major dirt on key Republican officials Use the information to blackmail those Republicans as a means to prevent impeachment Strategically release the cases of those who did not back down by blackmail if the impeachment process were to proceed It was a good plan. However, this was not a plan that could be directly executed by the White House. They needed the Justice Department and the FBI, which not only had existing information on the target Republicans, but the ability to quickly gather more useable dirt.

***UPDATE: Thanks to user 'Death2Masons' for pointing this out, Paul Bonacci, child victim in the Franklin Scandal, identified Barney Frank as 1 of the politicians that raped him: https://youtu.be/Ztk0N4nPasA

Barney Frank was the Congressman who was completely involved with Wall Street dergulation that lead to the housing financial disaster in 2008. Fanny/Freddy/derivitives/subprimes/ninja loans.
