If you seek justice...here's news for you
You will not find it...it's just an illusion
Something inside your mind...that's what you're going to find
It's in your mind
That's him in the courtroom
Let's watch the perfoming skills of Noel Hillman
Trying to make it appear that he really will try to win it
It's not what you think you see...it's a travesty
Behind the scenes they are laughing
And Berger will walk away...in prison he won't spend one day
And this isn't the first time...it's dejavu with Noel Hillman
It is not surprising....look at his history
He would not charge Hillary...Hillary
That's him in the courtroom
Let's watch the perfoming skills of Noel Hillman
Trying to make it appear that he really will try to win it
It's not what you think you see...it's a travesty
Behind the scenes they are laughing
And Berger will walk away...in prison he won't spend one day
They both walked away...there had been no justice
That's him in the courtroom
Let's watch the perfoming skills of Noel Hillman
Trying to make it appear that he really will try to win it
It's not what you think you see...it's a travesty
Behind the scenes they are laughing
'Cause both of them walked away...in prison they won't spend one day
A Hillman wink and nudge...he's the new judge
They both walked away, walked away, walked away
Please bring your Hillman/Berger/Hillary links here. This whole saga is outrageous.
There once was a man from New York
Who got Berger and Hil' in the dock
But convict he could not
The perps got to walk
Now he's Bush man - what a crock!

The Clinton Cabal Rules At the Justice Dept Office of Public Integrity: Another “Fox in the Hen House”
Filed under: Hillary Clinton — Peter Paul @ 4:36 pm
Well, its Deja Vous all over again! The Government Reform Committee has now discovered how far Mr. Noel Hillman went to protect the Clintons in his abuse of his authority as the Chief Justice Department official responsible for investigating and prosecuting public corruption by elected and appointed public officials.
Without a recommendation from the Chief of the Public Integrity Office, the Attorney General of the U.S. will not prosecute any politically related crime! This policy was articulated by the Chief of the Criminal Division of the Attorney General’s office in 2005.
The same Noel Hillman who supervised the investigation of Hillary Clinton’s 2000 campaign finance frauds from 2001-2005, and indicted and prosecuted the lowest level functionary in Hillary’s campaign, finance director David Rosen, pinning the rap on him to protect Hillary and Bill Clinton’s role in the affair, has now been outed by the Chairman of the House Oversight and Govt Reform Committee as a partisan protector of the Sandy Berger- Bill Clinton conspiracy to erase the truth about their mishandling of pre 9-11 Osama Bin Laden - Al Queda threats.
Where was the Oversight and Reform Committee when the FEC investigation concluded, and obtained an admission from, Hillary’s campaign treasurer Andrew Grossman knowingly filed three false reports hiding more than $800,000 in contributions to Hillary’s 2000 Senate campaign from Peter Paul? If they would have studied the FEC General Counsel Reports they would have learned that Hillary’s finance director David Rosen, had no legal obligation at all to file reports, true or false, about contributions to Hillary’s campaign and should never have been indicted and tried for that offense on his own.
The FEC concluded that it was Hillary’s treasurer that had knowingly filed the three false FEC reports that Hillman charged Mr Rosen with, and a jury acquitted him of when Hillman’s case made no sense. Rosen never signed any reports to the FEC and had no legal responsibility to file any reports with the FEC. While Rosen’s boss, campaign treasurer Grossman, testified at Rosen’s trial in May, 2005, that he never heard of any fundraising event costing more than $1 million, he admitted in December, 2005 to the FEC that he knowingly hid more than $800,000 of the more than $1.2 million that Paul paid for Hillary’s largest fundraiser.
How could Mr. Hillman ignore in good conscience Rosen’s boss’ admission to the FEC to the very crimes Rosen was indicted and tried for by the Justice Department (which the jury itself concluded was accomplished by Rosen’s higher ups) ? How could Hillman explain that his investigation resulted in Rosen’s indictment and exonnerated Grossman and Grossman’s boss, Hillary? The answer is Hillman didnt have to account to anyone for his actions. Membership in the Clinton Cabal ensures immunity from the Rule of Law, whether you are the malfeasor or the protector.
Clinton Cabal founding member Sandy Berger has demonstrated that even with a Republican Congress and a Republican Justice Department, the Clinton Cabal Immunity works perfectly well.
On Jan 9, 2007 - Oversight and Government Reform Committee Ranking Member Tom Davis (R-VA) released the following statement on a committee report that sheds important new light on Sandy Berger’s theft of classified documents from the National Archives. The report makes it clear that the full extent of Mr. Berger’s document removal can never be known, and consequently the Department of Justice could not assure the 9/11 Commission that it received all responsive documents to which Mr. Berger had access.
“My staff’s investigation reveals that President Clinton’s former National Security Advisor Sandy Berger compromised national security much more than originally disclosed,” Davis said. “It is now also clear that Mr. Berger was willing to go to extraordinary lengths to compromise national security, apparently for his own convenience
“The public statements of the former chief of the public integrity section, Noel Hillman, were incomplete and misleading. Because Mr. Berger had access to original documents that he could have taken without detection, we do not know if anything “was lost to the public or the process”
The Justice Department’s (Noel Hillman’s) assertion that Mr. Berger’s statements are credible after being caught is misplaced. One wouldnt rely on the fox to be truthful after being nabbed in the hen house. But the Justice Department (Noel Hillman) apparently did.”
Mr. Hillman’s unquestioned reliance on “truthful foxes” was showcased with the “mother of all foxes”, when Mrs Clinton herself , according to her attorney David Kendall, “fully cooperated” with Hillman’s investigation of her 2000 campaign finance frauds. Her “cooperation” confirmed to Hillman that she had no involvement whatsoever in inducing Peter Paul to become her largest contributor and then hiding that fact from the Washington Post before her first Senate election victory, and from the FEC for the next five years. During that time Hillary obstructed an OIG, FEC and Grand Jury investigation into the affair and caused the filing of false reports to the FEC and a false sworn declaration in her civil fraud suit in California.
Hopefully the Reform Committee will continue to look into Mr Hillman’s abuse of his office and the role Hillary and Bill played in obstructing the latest investigations of their conduct.
In the David Rosen trial, it really did look like the 1919 Black Sox. Peter Paul wasn't called. Aaron Tonken wasn't called. They did not use the conversation between Rosen and Ray Reggie when Reggie was wearing a wire for the government. The judge and prosecution made it clear to everyone that Hillary had no involvement. Where is Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis?

A New Jersey newspaper is reporting that President Bush is expected to nominate longtime prosecutor Noel Hillman to the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals less than a week after a congressional report criticized the then-justice Department official for "incomplete and misleading" assurances to the court during Sandy Berger's 2005 plea bargain for taking classified documents.
 Noel Hillman |
Hillman, a newly appointed federal judge in New Jersey, most recently served as lead Justice Department prosecutor against Jack Abramoff in the Capitol Hill lobbying scandal. During his tenure with Justice, Hillman oversaw the investigation of Hillary Clinton's 2000 campaign finances, indicting and prosecuting her finance director, David Rosen, for filing false reports. Rosen was acquitted in 2005.
WND has reported on the civil action against Clinton related to those charges.
Hillman also served as former chief of the Justice Department's Public Integrity Section during the prosecution of Berger, President Clinton's former national security advisor, for removing classified documents from the National Archive.
WND has reported that Clinton signed the letter authorizing Berger's access to the classified documents that later came up missing.
Berger pleaded guilty in April 2005 to one misdemeanor count of removing a classified document and was given two years probation, 100 hours of community service, a $50,000 fine and revocation of his security clearance for three years.

In accepting the plea, Hillman assured the court that Berger did not have an intent to hide any of the documents or conceal facts from the 9/11 Commission and that "nothing was lost to the public or the process."
But a report on the investigation into Berger's removal of documents, issued this week by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, identifies multiple occasions when Berger had access to original copies of classified documents for which there were no other copies or which had never been inventoried.
The report singled out Hillman for his "incomplete and misleading" assurances that the Justice Department had accounted for all documents Berger had handled and that all materials had been forwarded to the 9/11 Commission investigating the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
The report states:
Berger's actions "compromised national security much more than originally disclosed," Rep. Tom Davis of Virginia, ranking Republican member of the committee that produced the report, said.
"It is now also clear that Mr. Berger was willing to go to extraordinary lengths to compromise national security, apparently for his own convenience," Davis said.
Sources have told the Newark Star-Ledger that Bush is committed to the nomination of Hillman to fill the slot vacated last year by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr.
"It's pretty close. It's what the White House wants to do." one knowledgeable source who asked not to be identified told the paper.
Hillman enjoyed the backing of New Jersey Democratic Sens. Robert Menendez and Frank Lautenberg for his recent appointment to the federal bench and would need it again for the appointment to the appeals court.
The White House reportedly declined to select an ideologically conservative nominee. Senate rules allow Lautenberg and Menendez to block consideration of a New Jersey judicial nominee they oppose.
