Unreleased Impeachment Era Evidence Against Bill Clinton Still Sealed By Congress

Tens of thousands of pages detailing the case for impeachment against former President Bill Clinton have remained locked away from the public for almost 20 years.

Although many believe that the report issued by then Independent Counsel Ken Starr revealed the final findings of his investigation of Clinton in the late 1990’s, around 60,000 pages of documents seen by only a few people describe the House Judiciary Committee’s case against the 42nd president.

“It was a locked guarded room. The rules were only members of the committee–not their staff–nobody else–only members of the committee had access to that room. They had to sign in and sign out. They could take nothing in with them and they could bring nothing out,” Schippers said.

Schippers and his team were responsible for going through all of the evidence collected by Starr and Starr’s investigative team on the various Clinton scandals at the time.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Henry Hyde hired Chicago attorney and Democrat David Schippers to be the Chief Investigative Counsel to help prosecute the committee’s case against Clinton. Schippers described to American Family Radio’s Sandy Rios Friday how the evidence against Clinton was stored and studied by Congress at the time.

The dress must be a tad gamy by now.

Schippers and Hyde? Brings back memories of when this place was created!

[Enchante]

The disgusting Senate refused to do their constitutional duty, they refused even to pretend to do their constitutional duty and review the evidence. Joe Biden is a particularly loathsome twit, King of Twits.

[Revel]

Don’t be surprised if that evidence has already disappeared. Look who has been in charge of it for the last 8 years.

[Jacquerie]

That’s right. Schippers was told by a rat senator it wouldn’t matter if a dozen eye witnesses caught Bill Clinton standing over a dead body with a smoking gun.

Lieberman and Hatch. They should be flogged.

[Does so]

“It was a locked guarded room. The rules were only members of the committee–not their staff–nobody else–only members of the committee had access to that room. They had to sign in and sign out. They could take nothing in with them and they could bring nothing out,” Schippers said.

Judging by the effectiveness of Congressional hearings in general, the "guard" was probably not checking socks.

I blamed Trent Lott, Republican Majority Leader, at the time. He said something to Ken Starr of the effect "Don't put this garbage on my desk". Some FReeper gave me a hard time that there was nothing Lott could have done and to lay off of poor old Trent.

Lott had a duty, and failed in it.

Joe Lieberman was the Corrupt Comey of the impeachment vote.....he told all the hideous, disgusting things that Clinton did, and then voted NO on removing him from office.

And Little Marco told us the other day why that is.

Answering a question about Wikileaks, he said, "Today it is the Democrats. Tomorrow, it could be us.”

They're all in it together.

that evidence showed their involvement in trading state military secrets to the chinese.

once caught, you cannot charge the POTUS with treason... so they asked him to step down under a mild accusation to save face. he agreed... and double crossed them.

this is why the information is classified.

[Carl Vehse]

And the RINO-controlloed Traitorcongress will do..................................................................... nothing.

[tillacum]

I remember when all records of Clinton’s had been “sealed” for 50 years. They must have been really bad.

[paltz]

Actually it was Alaska Republican Sen. Ted Stevens who said that to Schippers.
