Bill Clinton actually said...

"I have no reason to believe he wasn't."

"I will depend on him to continue the progress that Admiral Kelso has made in restructuring the Navy to meet the new domestic and international security environments."

"I know your accomplishments in office will outlast any interest in the private matters that have arisen from your prior law practice."

"We have to restore confidence in people that if they do acquire the skills they need and help their countries move forward, they'll be rewarded and not punished."
