'..."Mrs. Clinton ... played a role in the decision to fire the [Travel Office] employees and thus, her statement to the contrary under oath to this office is factually false," Ray said in his final report on the imbroglio.


Despite the scathing conclusion, the top lawman gave the first lady the benefit of the doubt and didn't file charges, saying he couldn't prove she knew her testimony was false.

Ray's predecessor, Ken Starr, also came perilously close to fling charges against Hillary for her Whitewater fibs.

In their book "Truth at any Cost," reporters Susan Schmidt and Michael Weisskopf detailed a 1998 meeting between Starr's lead prosecutor Hickman Ewing and his legal team in Little Rock, where they weighed indicting Hillary:

"[Ewing] paced the room for more than three hours, recalling facts from memory," Schmidt and Weisskopf reported. "He spoke passionately, laying out a case that the first lady had obstructed government investigators and made false statements about her legal work for [Jim] McDougal's S&L, particularly the thrift's notorious multimillion-dollar Castle Grande real estate project."

However, Ewing's case against Mrs. Clinton had been severely weakened by the fact that Mr. McDougal had died a month before.

"Without him, prosecutors would have a hard time describing the S&L dealings they suspected Hillary Clinton had lied about," Schmidt and Weisskopf said.

Another person sure to be shocked by Hillary's new reputation for honesty is media mogul Steven Brill, who accused her of falsely claiming she helped 9/11 victim families while he was writing his 2003 book, "After."

Brill told WABC Radio that the senator's staff had provided him with "an elaborate story, with an elaborate subtext of memos and phone calls - a long, long story" detailing Hillary's meetings with 9/11 relatives.

But after checking with the families themselves, Brill said, "None of it turned out to be true. ... They gave me documents and phone calls and things like that which just plain never happened."'

Is Brill's quote on audio or video anywhere?

She is delusional. Let's have her committed.

Doug,

If you have any use for these stills, (ACCEPT FOR THE ARIEL SHOT...that one is not mine), they are mine. You won't have any copyright hopes to jump though.
