If Ben-Vineste was more restrained than usual, then I would expect that the clintonistas won on edits regarding the path to 911. I would bet the Monica part is gone; that is what billy jeff really wanted out; the comments by the maid and the burgler were just cover for that, imho.

Agree 100%, no reputations matter except for the Exalted Ones.

she was allowed to be a member of the 9/11 commission with the 2 sole purposes of covering her own big fat ass and covering for clinton and hsi incompetent minions!

Gorelick's job was to seduce Kean into leaving out anything nasty towards her or the Clintons. Berger's job was as "backstop" to remove from the Archives anything so egregious that no amount of spin could silence. They did their jobs well. But Bush did not do his, and let Berger off with a wrist slap, rather than 5-10 in Leavenworth, which was the minimum given statute. Just imagine an FDR aide caught destroying secret documents regarding Pearl Harbor during the inquiry...he would have been hung without question.

why she was allowed to be a member of the national commission examining 9/11 when part of that examination was whether or not her own policy decisions allowed it to happen.

I will never forget seeing one of the so-called Republicans on the commission (the Admiral IIRC) state that Jamie Gorelick was so valuable to the commission because she was in charge of deciding which documents were worth inspection by the commission. Talk about the fox guarding the henhouse.

I never heard this again, but it should have gotten more publicity, especially when the Sandy Berger theft became known. I am so furious at the right not saying over and over that the "copies" he took and destroyed were annotated copies and that the annotations were what he wanted to destroy. The right lets the left win the war of words again and again. No one would care if he took exact copies, which is what most people think.

If you aren't sure who gave the order to 'stand-down'(on at least 10 occasions)... just pencil in Rapist42. As the Dhim's love to repeat over and over... “the buck stops there.”

The buck was passed on to everyone else while Clinton was in office. Only people with integrity take responsibility for what happens under their watch. I have yet to see a single Dim politician with a shred of integrity.

If Gorelick had a soul, she would ask for God's forgiveness for allowing 3,000 people to be murdered by Al Qaeda.

Not only that, in my opinion, she did it for the basest of reasons. Jamie was blocking the discovery of illegal campaign contributions to the Clinton's from the Chinese among others. Jamie's "wall" directly impacted our ability to detect the 9/11 attacks.

Jamie was repaid with a plumb position as Vice-Chairman of Fannie Mae and reaped huge bonuses on fraudulent bookkeeping.

If anyone needs to be frog-marched to jail, it's Jamie Gorelick!

John Ashcroft saw to it that she couldn't.

If anyone needs to be frog-marched to jail, it's Jamie Gorelick!

Some would suggest... the gallows.
