Drip by drip, like Whitewater torture, the case is being made that she is compelled to mislead, and to ensnare her subordinates and friends in a web of deceit.
Again, the lying was not irrational.
Investigators believe that damning records from the Rose Law Firm, wrongfully kept in Vincent Foster's White House office, were spirited out in the dead of night and hidden from the law for two years - in Hillary's closet, in Web Hubbell's basement before his felony conviction, in the president's secretary's personal files - before some were forced out last week.
Why the White House concealment?
For good reason: The records show Hillary Clinton was lying when she denied actively representing a criminal enterprise known as the Madison S&L, and indicate she may have conspired with Web Hubbell's father-in-law to make a sham land deal that cost taxpayers $3 million.
Why the belated release of some of the incriminating evidence? Not because it mysteriously turned up in offices previously searched. Certainly not because Hillary Clinton and her new hang-tough White House counsel want to respond fully to lawful subpoenas.
One reason for the Friday-night dribble of evidence from the White House is the discovery by the FBI of copies of some of those records elsewhere.
When Clinton witnesses are asked about specific items in ''lost'' records - which investigators have - the White House ''finds'' its copy and releases it. By concealing the Madison billing records two days beyond the statute of limitations, Hillary evaded a civil suit by bamboozled bank regulators.
Another reason for recent revelations is the imminent turning of former aides and partners of Hillary against her; they were willing to cover her lying when it advanced their careers, but are inclined to listen to their own lawyers when faced with perjury indictments. Therefore, ask not ''Why didn't she just come clean at the beginning?''
She had good reasons to lie; she is in the longtime habit of lying; and she has never been called to account for lying herself or in suborning lying in her aides and friends. No wonder the president is fearful of holding a prime-time press conference.
Having been separately deposed by the independent counsel at least twice, the president and first lady would be well advised to retain separate defense counsel.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
Exactly.. sad but true.. voting for mcQueeq is MADD...
Lier lier pantsuit on fire.
I was going with Barack NMN Obama (NMN being military for “No Middle Name”) but I think I like Obama (peace be upon him) better!
It was TravelGate that did it for me early on...
The White House staff serves at the pleasure of the President. He can fire them and replace them with whomever he pleases. If the Clintons wanted to give the business to their Hollywood cronies and twice-removed cousins that was their business.
What was not their privilege was misusing the FBI to trump up bogus embezzlement charges against the seven Travel Office staffers to justify firing them and, oh incidentally, ruin their lives as well. That cold-bloodedness made clear to me what they were really all about. It did not help them either that the Travel Office people did a great job and were quite popular with the White House press corps.
I love Free Republic for golden chestnuts like this... Thanks, krb, for keeping the home fires burning bright!
I am definitely stealing your reference to Obama (peace be upon him.) That’s beautiful! :)
McCain? Really?
I’ve got a lot of problems with him: McCain-Kennedy and their embrace of illegals, McCain-Feingold and its unconstitutional limitations on free speech, his showboating and ego, his uncontrollable rage...
but when did he lie?
He said and says he is a conservative..
Thats a lie..
George Soros does not donate to conservatives..
Neither does the Tides Foundation and other ultra left wing orgs..
On the otherhand McQueeq's whole life is a lie..
Rebellion against a truely conservative father..
She cant help it. She was named for a liar.
HILLIARY
