Legally speaking, what was the reason for this wall of separation? Is it because intelligence officers can monitor "foreign agents" whether they are engaged in a crime or not, thus if a crime is discovered in the course of intelligence surveillance there would not be probable cause, thus the surveillance would be no good in court?
On the conspiracy side, I have always wondered if this wall was put in place to keep the FBI from discovering too much about Clinton connections to Chinese espionage.
excellent point! We know Hillary specifically chose Janet Reno because they could manipulate her.
Because of when the Gorelick memo was issued, which admitted in its text that it "went beyond what the law required," it may have been done to prevent foreign intelligence on China from revealing Clinton crimes with Chinese money in his campaigns.
I suspect that, too, but the Clintons have never had their "John Dean," just one person near the center who turned honest and told all that he knew. Maybe Ron Brown or Vince Foster would have done that, the first because the prosecutors were closing in on him and he didn't want to go down alone. The latter because he had an attack of conscience. But, surprisingly, both of them are dead.
