Hillary, Eavesdropper? Big Mama is Listening! Kf has obtained a copy of page 93 of the unreleased Gerth-Van Natta Hillary Clinton book, which describes how, during the '92 campaign, Hillary herself
"listened to a secretly recorded audiotape of a phone conversation of Clinton critics plotting their next attack. The tape contained discussions of another woman who might surface with allegations about an affair with Bill. Bill's supporters monitored frequencies used by cell phones, and the tape was made during one of those monitoring sessions."
Hmm. Phone-monitoring was a key investigative method of what notorious California-based Clinton-friendly private eye and problem solver? Just asking! ... P.S.: I'm not talking about Jack Palladino, who is explicitly mentioned in the footnotes as working for the Clinton team and would not have to be described as a "supporter." But of course, it could still be him, or any other "supporter." (Nor is it clear if the phones were being monitored in Arkansas or D.C..) ... I don't know how common cell-phone-monitoring was in 1992. ... P.P.S.: Wasn't there a character in Joe Klein's Primary Colors who did this sort of thing? ... P.P.P.S.: Isn't it not so legal? ... See also this exegesis of the elements of a violation of 18 U.S.C. 2511 (1) (a). I'm not an expert, but it looks like a potential minefield for Hilla

“... it looks like a potential minefield for Hillary. Think what Patrick Fitzgerald could have done with the provision criminalizing anyone who “intentionally uses, or endeavors to use, the contents of any wire, oral, or electronic communication” knowing it was obtained illegally. [E.A.] Maybe it all depends on what the uses of “uses” are! ... Did I bury the lede? ...
Update: Actually, say the profs at the Volokh Conspiracy, it depends on whether they were cell calls or cordless calls! Gerth and Van Natta say “cell.” I don’t think Hillary can take much comfort in Volokh’s analysis “
It shows again, and again that the Clinton’s are above the law. Where is the outrage?
Hillary as a speed bump.
Wow... Watergate and FBI files came to mind as I read this.
Anything with the name Jack Palladino needs to be copied for saving. Stories with Jack Palladino seem to be yank for the Net.
Worthy of a cross link

Lawsuit: Murdoch killed negative Clinton stories
And I hate not understanding why some of these things are sat on.
isn’t that a felony? Where’s the special prosecutor?
Also, before Liz's blurb, a guy called Rush, stating he had just been to D.R. and all the talk there was about the Clinton's building a home next to their bud, Oscar de la Renta.
A small story in the scheme of things this pair has done, but why hasn't someone asked her why she did not build a house in the USA?

They must've let the old farts that listened in on Newt use the equipment too!
IIRC, monitoring a radio transmission in legal. Taping it and distributing it is not.
