Clinton Has Eyes at Rosen Trial
BY JOSH GERSTEIN - Staff Reporter of the Sun
May 23, 2005

LOS ANGELES - Since the criminal trial of a top fund-raising official on Senator Clinton's 2000 campaign began here nearly two weeks ago, a middle-age woman has been quietly perched on one of the wooden benches in the back of the courtroom. She jots down her observations in a small notebook and regularly consults with defense lawyers, but does not socialize with the handful of journalists covering the trial.

The unobtrusive and taciturn woman is the general counsel for Mrs. Clinton's campaign, Carolyn Utrecht. She has served, it appears, as the senator's eyes and ears in the courtroom as a parade of witnesses involved with an August 12, 2000, fund-raiser have marched in and out to recount their memories of the star-studded event.

**SNIP**

Ms. Utrecht, 52, declined to be interviewed for this story. "It wouldn't be appropriate," she said as she left court Friday with a defense witness who was the chief architect of Mrs. Clinton's campaign, Harold Ickes.

**SNIP**

Mr. Rosen's lead lawyer, Paul Sandler, declined to comment yesterday on Ms. Utrecht's involvement in the defense of the former campaign staffer.

In a statement issued after Mr. Rosen's indictment was unsealed in January, the personal attorney for President Clinton and Mrs. Clinton, David Kendall, stressed that the campaign was assisting prosecutors. He did not mention any assistance to Mr. Rosen's defense team. "The Senate campaign committee has fully cooperated with the investigation. Mr. Rosen worked hard for the campaign, and we trust that when all the facts are in, he will be cleared," Mr. Kendall said at the time.

She's just there to let the Arkansas mafia know if anyone needs to take a ride down to Fort Marcy Park to review their testimony.

'Ms. Utrecht'.....'middle-age woman'......'unobtrusive and taciturn'.......

She's either a bulldyke, or a frigid shrew. Either way, I bet she can spew vitriolic for hours about America's 'culturally Eurocentric patriarchal paradigm'.........

My guess, given her bio, is that she's one of Hillary's old bull-dyky friends from Yale Law School.

Having lived and worked in D.C. for 15 years, I can tell you she sounds like one of those stereotypical, over-educated, self-absorbed, emotionally unbalanced Georgetown/Adams Morgan liberals. I ought to know. I dated a couple, and believe me, they live in a world of their own making. These people may occupy the same quantum universe, but not the same reality.

In fact, Joe Klein portrayed the bull dykes supporting Bill and Hill pretty well in Primary Colors. Bill's not half the man these folks used to be.

"I can squeeze the nickel," Mr. Ickes said."

That's right. This blood sucker can bleed all the little people completely dry.

Don't forget - the impeached *Crintons have one offspring that we know of. Just wait until she gets aspirations - or desires. I can see it now - polls on Jenna verses Chelsea...
