From today's Wall St. Journal:
...during the time of Ms. Gorelick's 1995 memo, the issue causing the most tension between the ...Justice Department and ...FBI was not counterterrorism but widely reported allegations of contributions to the Clinton-Gore campaign from foreign sources, involving the likes of John Huang and Charlie Trie. Mr. Trie later told investigators that between 1994 and 1996 he raised some $1.2 million, much of it from foreign sources, whose identities were hidden by straw donors.Thanks to the Gorelick Wall, Clinton's foreign contributions were never investigated from a "national security" viewpoint.
Timeout, by wisely highlighting that passage from the WSJ article, you may have hit the bullseye. As mentioned in another post, there's a thread running today about the latest news on the UN oil-for-food scandal. That scam was running merrily along throughout the 1990's. What are the odds that no one in the Clinton administration got wind of what was going on?
Given the public record of the Clinton era, it certainly isn't unreasonable to wonder if some of that oil-for-food blood money made it's way to Washington.
