torturous and meandering Whitewater investigation.

Nothing in this overkill of an investigation amounts to a justification for the impeachment of the president of the United States,

It's important for the department to take whatever time is necessary to complete a thorough investigation. At the conclusion of such an inquiry, however, it will be clear that there are no grounds for the appointment of an independent counsel.

The sector is meandering sideways.

It's torturous sitting here not knowing, wondering what they're talking about. I wish we could be in the deliberation room. But we'll just have to sit here and wait.

There is nothing more torturous than to see your child tormented by something or struggling with something.
