Cogent or Fallacious 2

As I was researching an article I came across this news feed on Yahoo news.  An article titled "First Whitewater prosecutor says 'serious crimes' were uncovered in probe" .  This article talks about the former U.S. attorney Robert Fiske who is publicizing his new book.  The book is about why he was let go from the investigation of Whitewater and because he was getting to close to the Clinton's and their connection to the  Whitewater scandal.

Robert details in his memoirs book about how he was actively going after several indictments as well as another attorney.  Fiske says he was replaced by a team of federal judges who were manipulated to find an escape goat.  He contests that yes there were arrests made but that there was not sufficient evidence for the arrests.  Robert explains that in his book he details the evidence and what the people were arrested for was insufficient.  Expressing that the individuals that he as well as another attorney were going to indict had more to do with the Whitewater scandal and would have implicated the Clinton's in the scandal.  Fiske says that the arrests were made to pacify the public and to stop inquiring about the Clinton's and their roles in the Whitewater mess. 

Fiske is hoping that the truth will come out before Hilary has a chance to run for the Presidency.  I feel that this is a fallacious story because he gives no evidence other than to buy his book as to why he feels so.  If this is so important and that he really wants the public to be aware of such an event, then why not disclose this to the media in one fail swoop.  He could still make his money from the interviews or a book deal.  But the most important thing is that the information would get out.  However, seeing as how he has not done this and is pushing his book then it cant be that important.  I do not doubt that the Whitewater scandal is fishy at best.  Even here in Utah I can smell the hypocrisy.  Neither the White house nor Fiske have disclosed all of the information.  Unfortunately  government from the beginning has always felt they were above the law and did not need to abide by the same rules as everyone else.  This scandal could have come back to so many people that covering it up is a possibility.  The truth is going to be in the middle of it all but I don't believe we will every know it.
