According to now retired New York Times columnist William Safire, Gorelick was tapped for her post by Hitlary ally Webster Hubbell after he resigned from the Justice Department in 1994 to face charges of over billing his legal clients. According to the Wall Street Journal, Gorelick fulfilled much the same role as Hubbell had, acting as Hillary's "eyes and ears at the Justice Department."
That sounds famiiar. Did you write that yourself?
This was from a Newsmax article Saturday, June 11, 2005 posted by Invisible Church on 6/11/05. Just do a search for Gorelick and go to that post date for it. Good info in this post.
I did paste the sentenses you cited because they sum up Gorelick's role as well as Web Hubblell being her predecessor. It also credits William Safire as having the inside track on who called for Gorelick in the first place. Web Hubbell served 16 months for his over charges to his Arkansas law firm and his clients. He also plead guilty on a tax charge that was later dismissed by the U.S. Supreme Court due to fifth admendment issues concerning private documents.
It seems as if Hitlary was cutting and pasting "eyes and ears" from the same cloth--Heh! Heh!
