Team FreeRepublic... Phouq Yeah!!!Some person or group did the legal research on Robinson and his website, uncovering all his past and present business affiliations, and distributed a legal brief to the news organizations Times Mirror, Dow Jones, Reuters and Washington Post." ...
The Washington Weekly identified Debevoise and Plimpton – a law firm used by the Clintons and the Democratic National Committee – as the coordinator of the attack. ...
"Debevoise & Plimpton [is] a DNC law firm that has conducted most of the internal investigation of illegal foreign contributions received by the DNC," wrote Wesley Phelan and Marvin Lee in the Washington Weekly. "Clinton private eye Terry Lenzner admitted in a Filegate deposition earlier this year that he had been retained by Debevoise & Plimpton to perform investigations of a political nature. Debevoise & Plimpton refused to answer questions about the selection of the FreeRepublic site when contacted by the Washington Weekly. …"...
By the time Debevoise & Plimpton attacked, Mr. and Mrs. Robinson were both confined to wheelchairs. But they fought with extraordinary zest and courage. "They'll have to pry my keyboard from my cold dead fingers," Jim Robinson famously told Washington Weekly in April 1998. The battle lines were drawn.
Thanks for posting this! It deserves a "Proud to be a FReeper" bump!
Poe has previously written that the real masters of the internet are conservatives, and the real winners as well. Our power is why the left wants to shut us down. The internet (and this forum) gives us equal access to all the information that the media so desperately want to suppress.
BTTT!

Proud of ya, Jim!!!!
bump for later......
SFC, thank you for posting this.
Jim, you know my admiration and gratitude for your efforts is boundless, but I must say it again. You have dropped anchor for a lot of people, such as myself (I grew up in a political thought vacuum), who were adrift in political seas, unable to find true North unless conservative sources and opinions were brought together, enabling the reader to sift, analyze, and decide where the truth is. The power of united, conservative action has been and continues to be cement poured into the crumbling foundations of our republic. It is no wonder the liberals hate this site and others such as this.
From the article, "I was the only poster for a few months," says Robinson, "but I kept sending my URL to search engines and trolled the newsgroups by reposting articles from the forum and eventually I picked up a few readers.' …" Way to go, Jim! I found FR via Drudge's former link, and a happy day that was.
BTTT!
Bless you Jim.
Buck.
P.S. FWIW, my mother was Fresno native.

Thank you, Jim!
Happy to be a FReeper ping!
God Bless Jim Robinson! He is a great American .
After reading an article like this I have great hope for our Republic. As long as people like JR around to inspire and encourage us to fight for what is right our freedoms are secure.
That's one for the bookmarks. I learned a few things I didn't know before. Thanks for maintaining such an important forum Jim.
Quite a nice article.
Thank you , Jim.
