A former congressional national security investigator wants to remind readers about Maggie Williams, a longtime aide to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton who recently was hired back by Mrs. Clinton's presidential campaign after the New York Democrat was hit with charges of racial insensitivity toward her top rival, Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois. Miss Williams, who is black, was never prosecuted on federal charges related to the 1996 Justice Department investigation into illegal campaign contribution from China, after she accepted $50,000 in 1995 from Chinese agent Johnny Chung.

Mr. Chung told Justice investigators he was the main conduit to the 1996 Bill Clinton re-election campaign for money supplied by the Chinese government through Lt. Col. Liu Chaoying. He also told investigators he took his direction from a Chinese general in charge of running Beijing's spies.

Miss Williams was given the $50,000 check, made out to the Democratic National Committee, by Mr. Chung prior to a meeting of Chinese shipping officials with Mr. Clinton in 1995.

Miss Williams joins Samuel R. Berger, the former national security adviser convicted of stealing classified documents after leaving office, who is also a campaign adviser. The official said it appears Mrs. Clinton is re-assembling many of the same officials from her husband's scandal-plagued administration, a move expected to provide political ammunition for opponents to use in the general election campaign, if she wins the Democratic presidential nomination.

I wonder if the Clintons think no one remembers any of this.

“Looking forward to 4 to 8 more years of this stuff are we????”
I was thinking the same thing. Especially the same annoying clinton crew: begala, l. davis, albright etc... Can she appoint her husband vice pres????????

[Clioman]

Wasn’t it Maggie Williams who moved to Paris to avoid being asked difficult questions about her employers’ activities in 1998-99?

[3AngelaD]

Yes, she is the one who moved to France. Apparently she has slunk back.

A high percentage of Clinton voters were in Grammar school when all this stuff went down!They could care less....All they want in office is a WOMAN who can show the world who’s boss,and create social programs that put women and other minorities ahead of the line....
Democracy is only as good as the people who make it up! The country is made up of minorities and special intrest groups who want THINGS! The rotten democratic party leadership is loaded with Dogs who will just give away the store! Get used to it!!! THIS COUNTRY IS ON THE WAY OUT!

I believe Williams is also the one who removed a box of files from Vince Foster’s office when the office was supposed to be sealed off.

All of the criminals are being re-hired by the Clintons.

Yes. See Federalist Papers, No. 10. In it, Madison discusses factions and how representative government can “guard against the cabals of a few...”

You can’t have a Clinton revival without all these folks. Lanny Davis’ sneer is as much an emblem of the Clinton Administration as Bill’s wagging finger or Carvil’s bald headed death mask.
