Watergate-Era Judiciary Chief of Staff: Hillary Clinton Fired For Lies, Unethical Behavior

As Hillary Clinton came under increasing scrutiny for her story about facing sniper fire in Bosnia, one question that arose was whether she has engaged in a pattern of lying.

The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary’s history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther – and goes much deeper – than anyone realizes.

Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation – one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman’s 17-year career.

I saw your clip and wanted to clarify that Mr. Calabrese interviewed Mr. Zeifman three days ago for this story. Of course, Mr. Zeifman has been saying the same thing about the Watergate investigation and Hillary for a long time.

Good job digging this up.

Rush SHOULD tell his audience!

[Andy from Chapel Hill]

Should we broadcast this article now or is it contrary to the objectives of Operation Chaos?

Should we bookmark it for later instead?

Where was this guy in 1992?

Hillary was baggage in 1992.

Neal Boortz was all over this this morning. He had the author of this piece on the air. I hope Rush covers it as well...oh and thank goodness FR is back up and running ;o)

[Ann Archy]

Rush won’t bring it up but just maybe Sean will!!

I listened to Neal Boortz this morning. I gathered that the brief she wrote most likely does not exist now. It was never filed and she caught heat for it so I would guess that it was shredded long ago; unless there were additional copies.
I wonder if she was actually fired. The article said she was fired but I read some other stuff that said Zeifman only refused to give her a letter of recommendation. Maybe in these legal circles that is the same as being fired.
Boortz said he was going to have Zeifman on tomorrow (Wednesday) that could be a good interview!

This is something only a Democrat would know and be willing to exploit.
