Foreign Agent Clinton
The American Spectator ^ | 03/06/2006 | The Prowler

Posted on 03/05/2006 11:16:17 PM PST by TheLion

Late Friday, Department of Justice lawyers in the Office of Legal Counsel were attempting to determine if former President Bill Clinton had registered as an "Agent of a Foreign Principal."

Federal statute requires that anyone -- even a former President -- doing political or public affairs work on behalf of a foreign country, agency or official must register with the Department, and essentially update his status every six months. It was not clear the Clinton had done so.

If his status is less clear, here is what we do know: If Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton did not know about her husband's standing with the United Arab Emirates and with Dubai World Ports, members of her Senate staff most assuredly did.

Actually, here's how it's going to work.

1. She vehemently opposes the port deal publicly.
2a. The port deal folds, everything gets swept under the rug, Republicans don't prosecute Willy for fear of falling poll numbers.
2b. The port deal goes through, she adamantly denies everything, the media backs her by playing the sound bites of her in "opposition" of the deal. Republicans prosecute, but get hit with the Partisan Politics card, and whomever takes up the prosecution gets dragged through the mud while the judicial review drags its heels until after 2008.

Nope....neither scenario is going to work, as you envision it.

This is 2006 and FR brought down Dan Rather. These are new times. :-)

I really hope you're right and that justice is served. The realist in me doesn't see that happening, though.

He encouraged them to hire a number of people working in consulting firms based in Washington with whom he had both personal and financial ties: The Cohen Group, the Albright Group, and the Glover Park Group. Other sources claim that longtime Clinton confidante and golf partner Vernon Jordan's name was also suggested as potential helpful fixer in the capital

The plot thickens

As I posted elsewhere, the former impeached president, Bill Clinton, has broken the laws again by acting as a foreign agent for Saudi Arabia and other countries who pony up his fees.

Like others of great wealth the Clinton's do not consider that laws apply to them. Even when President Clinton accepted millions of dollars from billionaire Indonesians and from the government of Communist China, nothing was done except to force him to return some of the money.

Clinton is a perfect example of why so many people do not pay any attention to mere laws.
