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.

Why?

[Alas Babylon!]

Riady and the Lippo Group?

That’s it! Riady.

Thank you.

. . . engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation.

Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach – including Kennedy’s purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro.

Nixon resigned rather than make that case, which it's believed he could have done.

And that was after Nixon refused to contest the razor-thin 1960 election, though he had a serious case there, too.

Nixon was far more patriotic than Hillary or anyone else who was fanatically opposed to him. And especially than "Hanging Chad" Gore.

R.M. Nixon was a cherubic choirboy compared to the felonious Clintons.

The Judiciary Committee allowed Douglas to keep counsel, thus establishing the precedent. Zeifman says he told Hillary that all the documents establishing this fact were in the Judiciary Committee’s public files. So what did Hillary do? “Hillary then removed all the Douglas files to the offices where she was located, which at that time was secured and inaccessible to the public,” Zeifman said. Hillary then proceeded to write a legal brief arguing there was no precedent for the right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding – as if the Douglas case had never occurred.

Sounds like what she did with the Rose Firm billing records.

The media knew perfectly well about this (and lots more) for 34 years. It was a 34 year coverup, ended only because the media has chosen Obama and Hillary stands in their way.

That answers my question of why this stuff is coming out now. She's been in the public eye more than 20 years, and just NOW we're hearing about what a lying fraud she is?

The late Barbara Olson also detailed this story in her book Hell To Pay.

That journal he kept should be disappearing in about... three... two... one...

Much as I hate (!!!!) apologizing for the Hildebeast, she, as a young lawyer barely out of law school, was probably working under the direction of Marshall and Nussbaum. But she lacked the gumption to go against her mentors even to the point of resigning quietly when she was asked to do something dishonest.

And she began a career of deception, crime, and eventually New World Order imperialist activity, from that day to the present.

Unfortunately, her rivals for the Presidency are atrocious—and thoroughly NWO—as well. We need to at least pray hard. Unless some people come up with a way for us to get out of this mess before the conventions, praying may be all we can do.

BTTT

[Shirerwasright]

They are the Indonesia or thai family that owns Worthen bank in Little Rock. Bunch of crooks

[Honorary Serb]

The big money interests led by Soros (hedge funds, etc.), not just the media, have chosen Barack Hussein Obama. We’re in deep yogurt!!!!

[crabpott]

It's OK for a Muslim to lie to a Christian, it's OK for a socialist to lie to a non-socalist. Socialism/Communism is a religion and as with the Muslims the ends justify the means. Simple as that.

[YaYa123]

This is proof positive the MSM has protected Hillary. I mean, as attentive as we’ve been to Hillary’s history, I never heard of this before. Did you?

[Wingy]

The late Barbara Olson also detailed this story in her book "Hell To Pay".

Thanks. I knew I'd heard it before, but I couldn't place just where...

[Veto!]

What unfortunate timing. Better she should get the nomination (by hook or by crook) and THEN face a barrage of terrible truths.

I hope someone somewhere (or many people in many places) is stockpiling articles revealing what a scheming, lying, America hating rat Obama is. New, incriminating evidence, please, that will NOT be revealed until if and when he wins the nomination.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhh. Mum’s the word.

[appleharvey]

This really needs to be covered by the MSM.

Who wants to bet it will be?

Exactamundo!!

[Randy Larsen]

...You forgot to mention John McCain!

[SuzanneC]

I knew she was on the House Judiciary Committee, but I’m not sure I’d heard this detail. It’s a good time for it to come out.
