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

by Dan Calabrese

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.

Why?

“Because she was a liar,” Zeifman said in an interview last week. “She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality.”

Well, that’s about as direct an answer as one could hope for. Wow. Hope he’s got his Kevlar knickers on.

[jackv]

Wow...is about all I can say today. Where’s he been all these years?

[kalee]

uh-oh

[IrishCatholic]

I hope he has verified copies spread out and the original in a vault.
Otherwise I wouldn’t get on a plane with him.

[Poundstone]

How to get this into the mainstream media?

[Ouderkirk]

Ziefman wrote about this a long time ago !!!

[Beatthedrum]

I've been quoting Zeifman for years, sent his quotes to many, many “news” sources. Outside of some talk radio people, few have shared it with the public...

Obama’s people need to get this guy to do an AD and bury the bitch for good.

[PeaceBeWithYou]

...and the rules of confidentiality.

I can't get rid of the image that portrays - hitlery as Deep Throat.

Anyone have a brain swab?

[MtnClimber]

That is truly amazing. And Hillary never learned her lesson.

[knuthom]

She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer

Isn't that a resume enhancement?

[Moonman62]

Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy’s chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair.

That sounds so much better than the Chappaquiddick cowardly homicide.

[sr4402]

Why did he not speak up sooner?? He should have the moment she ran for Senator and more so when she started her run for the Presidency.

But NO, the Dems don't police their own.

[Cementjungle]

And in order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception.

Definately sounds like the Hillary we all know and love!

[kcvl]

"The House Judiciary Committee's recommendation in 1974 that Nixon be impeached was nearly thwarted by a sham congressional inquiry, according to this blistering exposé... Zeifman charges that John Doar, special counsel to the inquiry, intentionally orchestrated a charade because he feared that a thorough investigation of the Nixon administration's government-sponsored crimes would let out of the bag Kennedy-era wiretaps, burglaries and sanctioned murders carried out in the name of national security...Finally, Zeifman maintains that Doar aide Hillary Rodham (now the First Lady) helped Doar gain control over the investigation through unethical tricks and faulty legal opinions."

[Prov1322]

I'm shocked, shocked to find that gambling Clinton behavior is going on in here! (to sort of quote Captain Renault)

[weegee]

The fact that the Clintons are still viable candidates after all these years shows that the media has been shielding them a very long time.

[Old Grumpy]

“He did so, and still has the diary if anyone wants to check the veracity of his story.”

How I wish THIS story would be broadcase on all the news shows.

[weegee]

Was the Affair in Chappaquiddick? Or just the murder and coverup?
