Rush Limbaugh Predicts Gorelick Will Not Resign

9/11 Commissioner Caught in Conflict of Interest

Speaking on his radio program Friday, talk show host Rush Limbaugh predicted 9/11 Commissioner and former Clinton Administration operative Jamie Gorelick would not resign her post despite the rising tide of criticism and questions over a potential conflict of interest.

"Gorelick won't resign because she has been ordered to protect Clinton, Reno and the Democrats," said Limbaugh.

Gorelick's problems emerged on Tuesday when Attorney General John Ashcroft declassified a Justice Department memo (PDF) written by Gorelick in 1995 in her capacity as Deputy Attorney General under the Clinton Administration. The memo mandated a policy that would have made it legally impossible for U.S. intelligence services to investigate the 9/11 plot while it was unfolding. Ashcroft's revelations of the memo's existence surprised committee members and the families of the 9/11 victims.

"And that's why she needs to resign," said Limbaugh."Not because she's investigating herself, not because she was in the DOJ when this all happened. Because she concealed information from them. And the information she concealed goes right in line with her purpose there: to protect Bill Clinton and the Clinton administration from anything that happens." "She's on that commission for a reason, and it isn't because of her brilliant legal mind," a former DNC and Clinton White House staffer told the American Spectator. "She's there to make sure Bush and his team look as bad as possible and to protect the Clintons and Reno."

According to the Spectator article, 9/11 Commission chairman Gov. Tom Kean and House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Sensenbrenner have asked Gorelick if she would consider resigning her post on the Commission. Gorelick has so far resisted calls for her departure despite demands from 9/11 family members that she step aside and take the stand as a witness.

"This is a partisan commission," Limbaugh charged. "...they tried to get Gorelick to resign, and she will not go.... She's got to protect Reno, the Clintons, and the Democrats."

Email the 9-11 commission. Don't know that will do any good, but can't hurt. At least we can annoy them!

Oh yes, Clinton was so obsessed with it he actually met with Tenant twice from 1995 to 2001.

Which means Clinton met with Monica more ..?? But then I guess that tells us what he was "obsessed" about.

What better way to have the world see the depravity and incompetence of the Democrats and Clintonoids, than to "give them loose reins" and let them run over the cliff?

It appears that someone's "strategery" is working beautifully.

Spectacular example of Strategery, indeed.

Exposes the anger and hate-filled Dems for what they are and highlights the fact that the Dems don't have a compelling alternative agenda to offer America.

This evening on ABC News they did a piece showing Gorelick as having been threatened by abusive e-mails, etc., in the last few days. Ms. Gorelick, is being portrayed as courageous ... stating emphatically that in-spite of the threats (by the VRWC group no doubt)she will remain steadfast & strong and continue on as a member of the 9-11 Commission. No mention, of course, by ABC that this particular Commission member has been compromised completely by her affiliation with the democ"Rats" and is damaged goods.

They are getting away with it because they knew Kean was easily controllable and rollable from his long prior history.

I am now disagreeing with Rush. Gorlick will have to resign or the commission has absolutely NO credability. Will happen within 15 days.

Reason: How can they give a final report with such bias on the commission. They can't. They already have no credability. This would reduce it even more.

She will be history.

According to the Spectator article, 9/11 Commission chairman Gov. Tom Kean and House Judiciary Committee chairman Jim Sensenbrenner have asked Gorelick if she would consider resigning her post on the Commission.

I'm certainly no fan of Kean. His weak hand as chairman has been apparent. And his arrogant statement that "we" should stay out of the commission's "business", riled me no end.

But, according to Spectator article, at least he has asked Gorelick (Dickens could not have picked a better name for this character) to consider resigning.

Operative word: consider.

The point, surely, is that if Gorelick did resign, and did take the witness stand, who would ask her questions? The whole commission is compromised by having expressed support for her.

It's ridiculous. She'll sit there, and the commission will suffer. It might as well fold, but it can't. The commission has endorsed Clarke's book, and it is revealed as a tendentious hit piece.

"Gorelick won't resign because she has been ordered to protect Clinton, Reno and the Democrats,"

Not only protect, but feed them information that is classified, such as the President and Vice President's private testimony.
