Talk about déjà vu. Pressed by questions about a scandal-tarred fundraiser, a candidate named Clinton decides to return hundreds of thousands of dollars. The politician's operation promises to conduct criminal background checks on big fundraisers in the future. And it leaks its decisions at night after a busy day in hopes of burying the news and minimizing the damage. In 1997, the pol, of course, was Bill Clinton and the tainted money came from folks such as John Huang, Charlie Trie, Johnny Chung and Pauline Kanchanalak. A decade later, it's Hillary Rodham Clinton's turn to write refund checks to deflect...

Most terminal operators at U.S. ports are foreign companies and some are owned in part by foreign governments. APL, which manages terminals in Oakland, Los Angeles, Seattle and Alaska, is owned by the NOL Group, which is majority owned by the Singapore government. The Chinese government owns part of a company that operates a terminal at the Port of Long Beach. That company, Cosco Container Lines, a division of China Cosco, caused a stir similar to the current one back in 1998. Cosco ships had been calling on the Port of Long Beach for many years, using a public terminal....

At approximately 4:05 pm EST today, Sean Hannity's screener allowed me to be the second caller to pose a question to Sean Hannity on air. When I heard my name and city announced and Sean said hello, I said good afternoon and stated "Sean, this will be the toughest question you've ever had to answer" and Sean said "have at it." [my question follows] "Sean, over the past many years, I've not heard you once, not one time - direct your listeners to go to our U. S. Congressional Record for the date of June 23, 1999. This date is...

IN THE summer of 1998, as the Monica Lewinsky scandal closed in around him, Bill Clinton was hosting an official White House dinner when he told his guests he needed to visit the bathroom. Excusing himself, he left the table. But, unknown to his guests, he walked in humiliated fury not to the bathroom, but to the White House Map Room. Waiting for him were FBI doctors and a federal prosecutor, there to take his blood sample to see of it matched the DNA on Ms Lewinsky’s now infamous semen-stained dress. This extraordinary episode, which remained secret until yesterday, is...

Those hoping for a repeat of Clinton's boom by electing Hillary are grasping at straws. Here's a news flash: the Y2K and Internet booms were products of (a) an anomalous, time-based event; and (b) the genius of web inventor Tim Berners-Lee, respectively. Clinton just happened to be...

Gorelick Memo Allegedly Impeded Probe of Clinton Fundraising Scandal By Scott Wheeler CNSNews.com Staff Writer April 26, 2004 (CNSNews.com) - A senior U.S. government official has told CNSNews.com that the 1995 memo written by former Assistant Attorney General Jamie Gorelick and currently at issue in the 9/11 Commission's investigation of U.S. intelligence failures, also created "a roadblock" to the probe of the 1996 Clinton re-election campaign fundraising scandal. The memo's relevance in the investigation of the fundraising scandal has received scant attention in the media, but four different sources, including the government official, have explained and corroborated details of the...

Presidential hopeful Sen. Bob Graham, who suggested last week that President Bush could be impeached for misleading the nation about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction, hired a key Chinagate scandal figure earlier this month to run his fundraising operation. Marvin Rosen, who was brought in to resuscitate Sen. Graham's flagging fundraising effort, served as Democratic National Committee Finance Chairman under President Clinton. It was Rosen who installed suspected Chinese spy John Huang as Vice Finance Chairman of the DNC at Clinton's urging, after a controversial meeting at the White House in 1995. According to the report on the scandal by...

Hey all. This weekend we got to see the absolute desperation within Liberal ranks to find a credible voice of opposition with the roll out of Retired [wonder why] General Wesley Clark The former NATO Commander of the Euroweenie/Clinton war in Bosnia. Of course the humble [implied] General is unsure as to what his personal ideology is [ala Colin Powell] even though last November he gave $1,000.00 to Democratic Erskin Bowles as he ran for office against Liddy Dole in North Carolina [per opensecrets.org] and of course he really hasn’t come to a decision as to whether or not he...
