PARDONING CROOKS PARDONING CROOKS:
10/19/00
1:10 p.m. By
Mark R. Levin, president of the Landmark Legal
Foundation It's now
official: Hillary Clinton, like her impeached
husband, is a liar. The Special
Division of the Court of Appeals for the District
of Columbia, which oversees the Office of the
Independent Counsel (OIC), released yesterday the
final investigative report on Hillary Clinton's
role in the firing of the White House Travel Office
staff. Independent Counsel (IC) Robert Ray
concluded that Mrs. Clinton (that would be
"Hillary!" for those familiar with her campaign
bumper stickers) gave "factually inaccurate" sworn
testimony when she tried to conceal her role in the
scandal. Let's recall
a few facts. Billy Dale, the longtime career
supervisor of the Travel Office, and his staff were
not only fired abruptly when the Clintonoids took
control of the White House, but several of them,
including Dale, were thereafter audited by the IRS.
Moreover, Dale was prosecuted by the
always-diligent attorney general, Janet Reno, on
trumped up charges of financial wrongdoing, for
which he was acquitted in 90 minutes by a jury of
his peers. And why was
this relatively insignificant office, and these
low-level worker bees, put upon by the White House
and federal law enforcement? Well, the Clintons'
good friend and supporter, Hollywood's Harry
Thomason, was a partner in TRM, Inc. Both had an
interest in securing some of the White House's air
charter business, but Dale had no interest in doing
business with them. Thereafter, the White House
suddenly unleashed an audit of the office, followed
by White House allegations of crimes. Next, the FBI
was ordered to conduct a criminal investigation.
The lives and careers of the Travel Office civil
servants were all but destroyed. Those of us
who have done our own research of the Travel Office
scandal have known for years that Hillary! was the
moving force behind this hideous act. The evidence
was overwhelming, including the contemporaneous
notes of the late White House deputy counsel
Vincent Foster, a memorandum prepared by former
White House assistant David Watkins, and statements
by former White House chief of staff Mack McLarty
-- all of which demonstrated that Hillary! was
pushing, and pushing hard, to oust immediately the
Travel Office staff by whatever means. Yet, in a
sworn deposition, when Hillary! was asked if she
had any role in the firings, she told
investigators: "No, I did not." IC Ray is
wrong. Hillary's! statements were more than
"factually inaccurate." They were blatant,
premeditated lies intended to conceal her role and
deceive prosecutors. Like her husband, she perjured
herself and obstructed justice. Unfortunately, when
the White House succeeds in intimidating the IC --
where the prosecutor himself is forced to adopt
Clinton-like language to evade his responsibility,
i.e., to indict -- great damage is inflicted on the
rule of law and the public's faith in the criminal
justice system. Despite the
fact that Hillary! wasn't charged criminally, there
can be no question that she's a liar. The jury was
out before this report was released
yesterday. January 8, 1996 By WILLIAM
SAFIRE Drip by drip, like Whitewater
torture, the case is being made that she is
compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her
subordinates and friends in a web of
deceit. 1. Remember the story she
told about studying The Wall Street Journal to
explain her 10,000 percent profit in 1979 commodity
trading? We now know that was a lie told to turn
aside accusations that as the Governor's wife she
profited corruptly, her account being run by a
lawyer for state poultry interests through a
disreputable broker. She lied for good reason: To
admit otherwise would be to confess taking, and
paying taxes on, what some think amounted to a
$100,000 bribe. 2. The abuse of Presidential
power known as Travelgate elicited another series
of lies.... 3. In the aftermath of the
apparent suicide of her former partner and closest
confidant, White House Deputy Counsel Vincent
Foster... [h]er closest friends and aides,
under oath, have been blatantly disremembering this
likely obstruction of justice, and may have to pay
for supporting Hillary's lie with jail
terms. Again, the lying was not
irrational. Investigators believe that damning
records from the Rose Law Firm, wrongfully kept in
Vincent Foster's White House office, were spirited
out in the dead of night and hidden from the law
for two years -- in Hillary's closet... The records show Hillary
Clinton was lying when she denied actively
representing a criminal enterprise known as the
Madison S.& L., and indicate she may have
conspired with Web Hubbell's father-in-law to make
a sham land deal that cost taxpayers $3 million...
By concealing the Madison
billing records two days beyond the statute of
limitations, Hillary evaded a civil suit by
bamboozled bank regulators.... "Why didn't she just come
clean at the beginning?" She had good reasons to
lie; she is in the longtime habit of lying; and she
has never been called to account for lying herself
or in suborning lying in her aides and
friends.... excerpt Hillary is Above
the Law Right after the New York
Times advised the voters in New York to elect
Hillary Clinton to the Senate, William Safire, the
paper's lone conservative columnist, wrote a
searing column about the first lady exposing her as
"a habitual prevaricator." This was inspired by the
release of Independent Counsel Robert Ray's report
on the Travelgate scandal. We commented on this
last June when Ray submitted the report the
judicial panel that appointed him and disclosed its
findings. Hillary Clinton had said
under oath that she played no role in the decision
to fire the White House Travel Office staff. Safire
in his column posed four basic questions: Was her
testimony that she played no role in the firings
false? Did she pressure White House aides into
starting an FBI investigation of the Travel Office
staff? Did this result in the Justice Department
bringing criminal charges against people found to
be innocent? Did she and her minions impede and
increase the cost of the investigation of her
involvement? Safire
said the answer to each of those questions is
yes. Travelgate involved the
firing of seven career White House employees with
unblemished reputations. They were all indicted for
embezzlement, but not one was convicted. The
Justice Department subjected Billy Dale, the head
of the office, to a trial even though its case was
so weak that it took the jury less than half an
hour to find him not guilty. The IRS then audited
him, but it found nothing wrong. Thanks to Hillary
Clinton, Billy Dale's family suffered three years
of torment and incurred a crushing financial
burden. Robert Ray's report says that
there is overwhelming evidence that Hillary Clinton
played a role in firing Billy Dale and his staff
and that her sworn statement to the contrary was
false. That means that she committed perjury, a
crime for which many people have been sentenced to
prison. The House Committee on Government Reform
and Oversight report on Travelgate said, "A
recurring question arises...whether the First Lady
is above the law." Robert Ray has answered that
question. Despite Hillary's blatant lies, he sought
no indictment because he didn't think he would be
able to convince a jury beyond a reasonable doubt
that she had committed perjury. He even said she
was entitled to a presumption of innocence because
she had not been convicted. Billy Dale, who was
prosecuted even thought there was no evidence that
he had committed any crime, has commented,
"Everyone, especially Robert Ray, knows Hillary
Clinton lied under oath.... (He) would not
prosecute her simply because of a fear of what a
Washington, D.C. jury might do." Independent Counsel Donald
Smaltz could not get a predominantly black jury in
Washington to convict Mike Espy, the former
secretary of agriculture, of accepting bribes, but
having convicted whites of giving Espy bribes, it
would have been racist not to try Espy, who is
black. There was far more reason to insist that
Hillary Clinton stand trial. But instead of making
that point, the editors of the New York Times
recommend sending her to the United States
Senate. Reed Irvine is the former
Chairman of Accuracy In Media and Cliff Kincaid is
the Editor of the AIM Report. For Immediate

COUNSEL RAY "TAKES A DIVE" ON CLINTON
INVESTIGATION Despite "Sufficient Evidence"
to Indict Clinton, OIC Ray Fails to Seek Justice
and Follow the Law Ray's Political Ambitions In
NJ Likely to Have Influenced
Investigation (Washington, DC) Judicial
Watch, the public interest law firm that
investigates and prosecutes government corruption,
stated today that it condemns the abysmally poor
investigative efforts of Independent Counsel Robert
Ray as documented in his final report concerning
the criminal activities of former President
Clinton. Ray and Clinton's attorneys
cut a deal on the former president's next-to-last
day in office that required Clinton to admit he had
made false statements under oath about his
relationship with former White House intern Monica
Lewinsky and surrendered his law license for five
years. Ray's final report states
that, "The independent counsel's judgment that
sufficient evidence existed to prosecute President
Clinton was confirmed by President Clinton's
admissions," the report continues. "President
Clinton admitted he 'knowingly gave evasive and
misleading answers'" about his sexual relationship
with Ms. Lewinsky. Independent Counsel Ray and
his staff never bothered to examine the millions of
White House e-mail, uncovered by Judicial Watch in
its litigation over the Clintons' illegal abuse of
FBI files, known as "Filegate." Witnesses that
offered additional, corroborative testimony, on a
wide range of matters, to the Independent Counsel's
office, such as Linda Tripp, were never
re-contacted and interviewed. Ray's efforts were,
at best, incomplete. We now know why he wanted to
shut down his investigations &endash; so he could
run for the U.S. Senate, as recently
reported. "Ray's failure to bring
criminal charges against former President Clinton,
his wife, the junior Senator from New York, Hillary
Clinton, and the rest of their henchmen is an
enormous miscarriage of justice," stated Judicial
Watch Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman.
"Ray is busy trying to be the Republican Senatorial
candidate in New Jersey. He never intended to seek
true justice, because that might tarnish his
political prospects. The real tragedy is that we
can expect absolutely no follow-up by the Ashcroft
Justice Department on a host of Clinton era
criminal activity. For our part, Judicial Watch has
over 80 cases against the Clintons and their
underlings, and we intend to bring them to
justice." added Klayman. Judicial Watch has filed an
ethics complaint against Ray for his candidacy to
the U.S. Senate while serving as Independent
Counsel. See: http://www.judicialwatch.org/cases/84/raycomp.htm © Copyright 1997-2004,

the obsessively perfectionistic dodo
wasn't able to fake even one wrong answer
in the Letterman phony "pop quiz," a
nostalgic electuary of "Twenty-One" fraud
and (Groucho) Marxist left-wing
crow. Instead,
this documented incompetent with no
apparent creative or analytic (not to
mention thespian) skills gushed forth with
a lame--"It's the bluebird--I know that"
--globally exposing herself to be the
corrupt clown that the sentient among us
already know she is. It
is no accident--and the Sheehy hagiography
notwithstanding, it is certainly not
because of any patriarchal society--that
this reflexive kleptocrat never sought
office. She never ran simply because she
is a perfectionist and an incompetent who
cannot tolerate personal (as opposed to
bill-related) criticism, witness the
prescreened, heavily controlled,
sycophantic crowds, her pre-programmed,
totally scripted appearances (or,
alternatively, her totally mute "listening
tour"), her unavailability to the press,
indeed, her "bluebird." Thus,
the question begging to be asked is
this: Why
would this compulsively perfectionistic
grotesquerie allow herself to be
unambiguously exposed as the utter
incompetent and fraud and fool and horror
that she is? And
why would this self-proclaimed protector
of "the children" prolong her own child's
profound trauma by forcing her own
bottom-heavy self, soiled in its own
right, onto the political
stage? The
answer, I believe, resides more in liberty
loss than in power gain. Simply
put, she is not running for office; she is
running from indictment. And
I fear Starr successor, Robert Ray, is
unable to catch her... Ray's
recent statement , " I have been charged
with responsibly conducting the work of
this office. Some of my responsibility is
to ensure that there is no untoward effect
on the political process," both confirms
and encourages this latest round of
clinton raping, pillaging, despoiling,
destroying. Will
this nightmare never end? |

KnowNothing's brother,
Hugh Rodham, secured two of the 141 clinton midnight
pardons, one for a cocaine kingpin and the other for a
snake-oil swindler. Rodham netted a quick $400,000 for his
"work" according to various rodhams and clintons and their
assorted lawyers. KnowNothing's campaign treasurer, William
Cunningham III, himself a law partner of longtime
KnowNothing adviser Harold Ickes,
helped obtain last-minute pardons for two convicted
felons. LA FAMIGLIA Displaying a willingness to throw her brother (along with her husband) to the wolves, Sen. Victim Clinton was quick to make a distinction between her big, bad brother's pardon "work" and that of her campaign treasurer, "a fine lawyer and a fine man." The "family" connection of brother Rodham to Clinton rendered Rodham's "work" offensive, whereas the campaign treasurer Cunningham's connection to the senator and her campaign coffers made his securing of two pardons in record time a sterling example of highminded, effective public service. KnowNothing has
apparently not thought this thing through. If the "family"
connection makes lobbying for cocaine-kingpin and
snake-oil-swindler pardons unsavory for brother Rodham, then
the "family" connection makes lobbying for the Hasidim 4
(see Keating 5) pardons even more distasteful for the
wife, First Lady and senator-elect. Moreover, pardons for
votes is arguably a greater offense than pardons for
cash. EFFECTIVELY PLEADS FIFTH BY INVOKING SPOUSAL PRIVILEGE KnowNothing specifically declined to answer when asked whether she discussed the pardons with her husband, effectively pleading the fifth. Turning aside questions about the pardon decisions her husband had made, she told reporters they should address those issues with him and his staff. She refused to say whether he should agree to appear voluntarily before congressional committees investigating the pardons. Interestingly, no one asked her whether she would agree to appear voluntarily before those same congressional committees. I DIDN'T HAVE SEX WITH THAT PARDON "I did not have any involvement in the pardons that were granted or not granted," insisted Sen. KnowNothing, seeming to forget her presence at the New-Square/Oval-Office schmooze that secured pardons for the four Hasidic felons who set up a phony school in Brooklyn to swindle the government out of millions intended for the poor.
KnowNothing noted that
her"best memory" was that she never spoke to her brother or
to Mr. Cunningham about the pardons. With variations of "I
don't have a memory" and "my best memory, and avoiding the
more obvious "I don't recall" and "my best recollection,"
KnowNothing reprised the Ruffian standard used during the
clinton years to commit perjury without penalty. I GET LETTERS ...or more precisely, envelopes. During her denials of involvement in any of the pardons, KnowNothing made the curious claim: "People handed me envelopes, I passed them on [and never opened a single one. Honest.]"
Reprising the role of victim that enabled her to win a senate seat in spite of low poll numbers, high personal negatives and consistent public failures, the senator peppered her answers about big, bad Hugh (understanding that the subtext was big, bad Bill) with "saddened" and "disappointed" and "heartbroken" and "shocked." UTTER CONTEMPT FOR THE PEOPLE This session today was cut short by a staffer when reporters appeared dissatisfied by Senator KnowNothing's lack of candor. In the end, this press conference full of poses, poll-tested phrases and prevarication was just another display of the clintons' utter contempt for the people. Bill Clinton committed the same error last Sunday in his shameless, lie-filled New York Times Pardongate Apologia. The clintons'
fundamental error: They are too arrogant and dim-witted to
understand that the demagogic process in this fiberoptic age
isn't about counting spun heads; it's about not discounting
circumambient brains. |

STALINIST RISING? 1
|

There are a lot of ways to make a man's death look like an accident, suicide or a street crime. That wasn't the intent of whoever murdered former KGB agent Alexander Litvinenko in London. By using such an exotic murder weapon—a radioactive isotope known as polonium-210—his killers sent a message: Don't mess with the powers that be in Russia. Max Boot |
NEO-STALINIST
hillary clinton is our Putin.
To get a glimpse of her Stalinist proclivities, one need only go back to 2 July 2006. As the country prepared to celebrate its independence, missus clinton was applying the jackboot. Stealthily, almost subliminally.
It was clinton's response (by proxy (how else?)) to what was plainly in the field... and what was doubtless in her internal polls: Big problems ahead for the quondam shoo-in. The 'dump hillary' movement within the Democratic Party was getting traction.3, 4
She dispatched longtime clinton operatives, James Carville and Mark J. Penn, to the Washington Post to prop her up yet one more time. The Post Carville-Penn apologia was full of the usual clinton poses, poll-tested phrases and prevarication, but that was not the real story. The real story was the headline: 'The Power of Hillary.'
'The Power of Hillary' had the whiff of raw FBI files and IRS audits. It had the stink of the clinton jackboot.
The message was clear: Be advised! Try to dump hillary and hillary will, quite simply, crush you.
As with Putin and other Stalinists, missus clinton's functional assassination weapons of choice are drummed up charges of tax evasion and character assassination, 9 not necessarily in that order.
The Barrett Report, paid for by The People and redacted by the DC mutual protection racket writ large—which is also, we note (and will remember), paid for by The People—documents the clintons' abuse of the IRS and other clinton abuses of power that were—and still are—routinely used to silence clinton critics.
FAKE OUT
If functional assassination is a clinton staple, the reputation for assassination-in-fact is the clinton coup de grâce.
To make sure their repulation always precedes them, the clintons never miss an opportunity to spread the rumors around themselves. By repeating every allegation of clinton murder and mayhem—while affecting an incredulous air, of course—the clintons intimidate and silence their critics even as they marginalize the enemy.
The outrageousness of the clintons' crimes, actual and apparent, will always work to the clintons' advantage, making the disabling of these flagrant psychopaths all the more challenging.
But disable them we must.
For the children.

December 7, 1941+64 RE: a not-so-modest proposal concerning hillary clinton
The context of our concern today--regardless of political affiliation--is Iraq and The War on Terror, but the larger fear is that our democracy may not survive. We have the requisite machines, power and know-how to defeat the enemy in Iraq and elsewhere, but do we have the will? In particular, do we have the will to identify and defeat the enemy in our midst? Answerable to no one, heir apparent in her own mind, self-serving in the extreme, hillary clinton incarnates this insidious new threat to our survival. What we decide to do about missus clinton will tell us much about what awaits us in these perilous new times. COMPLETE LETTER |

ON
WARRANTLESS SEARCHES AND
WIRETAPS:
"Prominent
Democrats in Congress have spent much of the
last decade in a campaign to suppress
Barrett's report," columnist Robert Novak
reported yesterday. "Its disclosures could
dig deeply into concealed Clinton
administration scandals." Notes
Fox News Radio's Tony Snow: "By all accounts,
the 400-page Barrett report is a bombshell,
capable possibly of wiping out Hillary Rodham
Clinton's presidential prospects. At the very
least, it would bring to public attention a
scandal that would make the Valerie Plame
affair vanish into comical
insignificance." When
he launched his probe in 1994, Mr. Barrett's
initial focus was former Clinton Housing
Secretary Henry Cisneros. But his
investigation quickly zeroed in on
allegations that the Clintons were using the
IRS to persecute their political enemies -
including scandal witnesses against
them. Reports
Novak: "An IRS whistleblower told Barrett of
an unprecedented coverup. The informant said
a regional IRS official had formulated a new
rule enabling him to transfer an
investigation of Cisneros to Washington to be
buried by the Justice Department. Barrett's
investigators found Lee Radek, head of
Justice's public integrity office, determined
to protect President Bill
Clinton." Though
the Clinton White House dismissed it as
"coincidental," one witness after another
against the then-first couple found
themselves under IRS scrutiny - with a
particular focus on Mr. Clinton's female
accusers. Before
the 1990's were over, Gennifer Flowers, Paula
Jones, Juanita Broddrick and Elizabeth Ward
Gracen had all been targeted by audits. Mrs.
Jones, whose sexual harassment lawsuit led to
Mr. Clinton's impeachment, even had her
confidential tax returns leaked to the press
in 1997. At
the time of the Jones audit, Clinton press
secretary Mike McCurry insisted that it was
crazy to suspect any political
connection. "We
may do dumb things from time to time," he
told reporters, "but we're not certifiably
insane." Advance
word on the Barrett report, however, suggests
suspicions at the time were right on the mark
- and that would mean that the Clinton White
House had perpetrated one of the worst abuses
of power in presidential history. Hillary
is said to be particularly vulnerable to the
Barrett report's exposure, since her old
college chum, Margaret Milner Richardson, ran
the IRS at the time. But
Novak reports that "hardly any of Barrett's
allegations will remain" in the report when
the final version is released, thanks to
maneuvering by Senate Democrats - despite a
previous agreement to the
contrary. Lo |
"Bird
of paradise" would have been a brilliant
wrong answer for the New-York-state-bird
question; in one fell swoop it would have
flattered the necessary constituency,
rendered hillary's cheating marginally
believable and suggested a quick, secure,
creative mind. 
RESURRECTING
RUFF
I
AM VICTIM
hillary clinton's revisionist tome notwithstanding, 'living history' begets a certain symmetry. It is in that light that I make this not-so-modest proposal on this day, exactly 64 years after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
