Time to link up-for-re-election Tom Daschle to Gorelick and Ben-Veniste - he tapped them for the Commission, so this will look like he is intimately involved with them even if he isn't.

Ben-Veniste was also the lawyer for Barry Seal who ran guns for the CIA from Mena, Arkansas to the Contra's and came back with cocaine.

I will never forget during the Senate Whitewater hearings Senator Al Dimato (R-NY) trying to make the Clinton gang look bad asked a witness something about Mena and Ben Veniste interrupted reminding Dimato that he had been Seal's lawyer and that the GOP might not like the details he knew of Mena to come out. I never saw Dimato shut up so fast in my life.

The real story about Clinton's presidency (shudder) is the Lippo/Riady/Huang connection.

I've known that since the hearings cited in this very article.

Ben Veniste knew it then and did what he was there to do: Block any probing of that whole amazing story.

"But had they been fired, Ben-Veniste and his coauthor note, they were ready: "Actually, copies of all potentially explosive documents had . . . been removed for safekeeping several days before. On the previous Thursday evening, members of the Watergate Task Force had made copies of key prosecution summaries and memoranda and spirited them away." Desperate times evidently require desperate measures, even if what you are doing runs the risk of violating rules governing grand jury secrecy and other prosecutorial conduct."

The Clintons and their cohorts, learned well from Nixon and this "Watergate Task Force", how not to get caught.
