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?
“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.”

I wonder if this too is a “key topic in discussions with superdelegates.”

If the lack of interest in this thread so far is any indication, this story does not have legs.

This is the heavy part! In one written legal memorandum, she advocated denying President Nixon representation by counsel. In so doing she simply ignored the fact that in the committee’s then most recent prior impeachment proceeding, the committee had afforded the right to counsel to Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas. Screw Constitutional rights when it comes to political vendettas! Right Hillary?

That could also be explained by how slow things are tonight at FR. The server seems to be in sludge, and its went out on me several times.

Hillary’s a liar?
I’m shocked... and deeply saddened.
(My mother says, “It’s a good thing Bill and Hillary are married to each other. It would be a shame to ruin TWO families.”)

Just wondering if this is an April Fool's joke, but I googled for Jerry Zeifman and got a webpage which appears to back this up...
Here.
Cheers!
