Gorelick Memo Allegedly Impeded Probe of Clinton Fundraising Scandal

CNSNews | April 26, 2004 | Scott Wheeler

[swilhelm73]

The Clinton defense, or more accurately, explanation, for why he took money from the PRC was that he didn't realize that he was taking illegal funds - even though the FBI had warned him the PRC was planning on attempting to influence the election.

If in fact, as now looks likely, Clinton started setting up roadblocks to investigating such a crime so far before the election, there is little question that Clinton approved of the illegal donations. Further, this makes arguing against an explicit quid pro quo exceedingly difficult.

Why would China funnel Clinton so much money for nothing in return???

Overall this Gorelick memo, and Gorelick herself, really is becoming more and more the centerpiece of Clinton's failures and crimes.

Actually, I already knew some of this stuff, but there's a limit to what I can accept as reality. That limit keeps getting stretched.

[timydnuc]

Of course this is true. Why it amazes anyone is beyond me. There are so many moles left in the government. We should return to the "spoils system". that way the majority would have some control over the bureaucracy.

THE CLOWNS ARE OFF AND RUNNING THIS WEEK.ALL OF THEM.

[GregoryFul]

Clinton was nurtured by the PRC even as Governor of Arkansas. They recognized his potential.

[ladyinred]

I have always thought the real author of the "wall" is Hillary Clinton.

Jamie Gorelick is on the 9/11 Commission for the exact same reason she was put into the position of Deputy Attorney General. It's all about the Clintons.

As for who really ordered the wall erected, thankfully we have Senators who do their jobs and will find out:

WASHINGTON – U.S. Sens. John Cornyn (R-Texas) and Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) wrote U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft Monday requesting that the Department of Justice “produce any records relating to Deputy Attorney General (Jamie) Gorelick’s involvement in the development and promulgation of Attorney General Reno’s Procedures for Contacts Between the FBI and the Criminal Division Concerning Foreign Intelligence and Foreign Counterintelligence Investigations.”

I hate to say it but you are catching on.

Keep reading. Check out the archives.

Look for Flight 800,

John Doe #2

OKC bombing

WTC bombing #1

Be afraid, but don't blind. That's just scratching the surface.

Thanks for the ping!

Actually .. Rush was blabbing about it on his show today .. and it's on his website. 20 mil people may not be "the public as large" but it's a good start.

[CyberAnt]

"as large" = at large

But .. you knew that!

[capecodderathome]

Thanks all, for keeping this thread alive. I've known in my heart that the whole Clinton administration was was a definition of sleeze. Living in Massachusetts, I've seen AF1 flying in and out so many time for fundraising events. The most disturbing was an event in the Boston area, where a known terrorist organization held a fundraiser. It was so blatant and well reported, the Clintons returned the money; claiming ignorance. I pray to God that justice is brought to all these despicable people. One can only wonder how deep the septage is.

((ping))

Don't miss this one.

Jamie Gorelick will never testify to the commission

I understand 10 senators/congressmen signed a letter that went to the commission demanding that Gorelick testify. They were told - no way - she was not on the original list of witnesses.

OK fellow Freepers - does anyone have any ideas how WE can get her into that witness chair?

[calcowgirl]

Oh Ma-a-aaa-n....
Just when you thought it couldn't get any better! LOL.

Thanks for the ping!

Who was the guy from the FBI at the 9/11 hearing that said he thought the memo started because of what happen with Travelgate?

[Lancey Howard]

Close. You see the investigations hadn't begun yet as they were post election.

The winds of scandal begin blowing long before investigations are launched. I agree that "the wall" may have been erected to clear the path for future Clinton foreign-money grabs, but the Clintons were involved with more than just the PRC. For example, I believe the Clintons' relationship with the Riaddys (Indonesia) goes way back.

I have no doubt that Gorelick wrote the "wall" memo at Hillary Clinton's direction (she was, after all, Hillary's "eyes and ears" at justice after Web went down), and I think the Republicans are holding some cards up their sleeves. This is the part of the story that could blow up in Hillary Clinton's face. If it turns out that the Clintons' efforts to shield themselves from prosecution can be tied directly to the deficient national security conditions that allowed 9-11, all hell will break loose.

Fasten your seatbelt.

Reverse Gorelick

by Mia T, 4.15.04

e would have it backwards and miss the point entirely if we were to attribute The Gorelick Wall and the attendant metastasis of al Qaeda during the clintons' watch, (which, incidentally, was then in its incipient stage and stoppable), to the '60s liberal mindset.

Rampant '60s liberalism was not the underlying rationale for The Gorelick Wall.

Rather, The Gorelick Wall was the underlying rationale for--The Gorelick Wall was (insofar as '60s liberalism was the Wall's apparent impetus) a cynical cover for --the willful, methodical malpractice and malfeasance that was the product of the virulent clinton strain of rampant '60s liberalism.

While it is true that The Gorelick Wall was the convenient device of a cowardly self-serving president, The Wall's aiding and abetting of al Qaeda was largely incidental, (the pervasiveness of the clintons' Nobel-Peace-Prize calculus notwithstanding).

The Wall was engineered primarily to protect a corrupt self-serving president. The metastasis of al Qaeda and 9/11 were simply the cost of doing business, clinton-style.

Further confirmation of the Wall-as-cover-for-clinton-corruption thesis:

• Gorelick's failure to disclose the fact that she authored the memo that was the efficient cause of 911
• Gorelick's surreal presence on the 911 commission investigating Gorelick's Justice Department, a maneuver that effectively removes from the universe of witnesses a central witness, Gorelick, even as it uniquely positions a central player, Gorelick, to directly shape the commission's conclusions. (Is there any question which two people are responsible for Gorelick's insertion on the commission?)

Conversely, that it never occurred to anyone on the commission that Gorelick's flagrant conflict of interest renders her presence on the commission beyond farce calls into question the commission's judgment if not its integrity. Washington's mutual protection racket writ large, I suspect.

The Gorelick Wall is consistent with, and an international extension of, two essential acts committed in tandem, Filegate, the simultaneous empowering of the clintons and disemboweling of clinton adversaries, and the clinton Putsch, the firing and replacement of every U.S. attorney extant.

Filegate and the clinton Putsch,
committed in tandem,
the product of a careful criminal calculus,
at once empowered clinton
and disemboweled his opponents.
clinton was now free to betray with abandon
not only our trust,
but the Constitution as well.

The Common Man
Mia T
February, 1998

Allegations of international clinton crimes swirling around the White House in 1995 and beyond support The-Wall-as-cover-for-international-clinton-crimes thesis.

Once the clintons' own U.S. attorneys were in place, once the opposition was disemboweled by the knowledge that their raw FBI files had been in the possession of the clintons, once domestic law enforcement was effectively blinded to foreign data by Gorelick's Wall, the clintons were free to methodically and seditiously and with impunity auction off America's security, sovereignty and economy to the highest foreign bidder.

Thomas Pickard, Former acting FBI Director

[BigSkyFreeper]

BEN-VENISTE: I understand that, sir. But if you had known, would you not have -- I think you've answered my question -- you would have pulsed the FBI.

Let me ask you this. Did the president or the attorney general of the United States ever ask to meet with you following August 6th?

PICKARD: No. There was a policy that I was not to go to the White House unless the attorney general or the deputy attorney general or someone from the Department of Justice, either I had informed them or they went with me, and that was as a result of the Travelgate scandal where the FBI asked for information...

BEN-VENISTE: The request never came.

And finally with request with -- Mr. Black -- to the kill or capture answer that you gave earlier to Secretary LEHMAN: Are you confident that you saw all of the instructions signed by President Clinton as of late 1998 before you took up your duties at the CT center in mid-1999?

PICKARD: All of the memorandums of notification...

BEN-VENISTE: Yes.

PICKARD: ... were retained by our lawyers. And I did have access to them.

BEN-VENISTE: Are you confident that you saw all of them, because, sir, you are mistaken with respect to your answer.

PICKARD: Well -- well, I don't know the universe of what -- I don't know what, necessarily, all the ones. I know the ones that were made available to me -- put it that way.

BEN VENISTE: The problem was that the one that we are referring to here was not made available to us until very recently. It was in the Clinton archived materials and was held very closely.

PICKARD: Yes. I don't know what you're referring to, so I would have to see it to confirm that I was aware of it. So I don't know, sir.

KEAN: Gentlemen, thank you very much. We appreciate your government service and your attendance here and your help with our commission today. Thank you very much.
