Hillary Clinton and Watergate: Corroboration of ‘Stupid, Politically Tone-Deaf’ Behavior
North Star Writers Group ^ | April 7, 2008 | Dan Calabrese

Posted on 04/07/2008 6:10:34 AM PDT by Invisigoth

In 1974, 27-year-old Hillary Rodham found herself at the center of a congressional firestorm over the question of whether Richard Nixon had a right to counsel as he faced impeachment proceedings.

In my column of Monday, March 31, 2008, I reported the account of Jerry Zeifman, who served at the time as general counsel and chief of staff to the House Judiciary Committee. Zeifman minced no words about Hillary’s behavior when she worked on the House Judiciary staff during the impeachment investigation.

After signing her termination papers, Zeifman refused Hillary a letter of recommendation. He told me in an interview that this was because she had shown herself to be a liar and an unethical lawyer.

During the past week, I have done further reporting and interviewed two others who were close to the proceedings at the time. The picture that emerges from all this is that of a very ambitious young lawyer who was eager to please her political patrons, and was willing to mislead and undermine established committee staff and senior committee members in order to do so.

Some people never really DO change much, after high school. ;)

It is interesting when the clitoon’s are down the MSM start a little research of obvious crimes that have previously been ignored. They have a wealth of material to chose from, have at it and let the light of day shine bright on these low life scum.

This came out briefly when Deep Throat was revealed...and was quickly killed. The common factor in everything is Mandy Grunwald...

Her father was op-ed fro ?? (forgot) and the first to say Nixon should resign.

Her hubby is Matt Cooper of Valerie Plame fame.

And Mandy is Hillary's best friend and was Bubba's campaign manager.

Notice that she has been very hidden in this election.

Can you imagine if she had gotten the “No right to counsel” thru, what would have happened to Bill?

Oh sorry Mr Pres, no laywers for your impeachment....... HAHAHAHAHAHAHa! Because of your WIFE!

But then maybe she would have been prosecuted for lying and stealing papers and we could have saved the country much grief.

“Right to Counsel” is something that first year law students learn. I guess we shouldn’t be too surprised, as Hillary did flunk the DC Bar Exam.

AND how much information do they have on Nobama? They have been “watching” him since 1990, yet to them he, like the clintons before him are messiah-like.

From the article:

Neither my first column on the subject nor this one were designed to show that Hillary is dishonest. I don’t really think that’s in dispute. Rather, they were designed to show that she has been this way for a very long time...

Our news media has no credibility and cannot be trusted. The media is providing the same cover for Obama that it provided for the Clintons. The reason is obvious - they want Obama to win. Guaranteed there are a lot of editors and publishers who don’t want to print anything negative about Obama.

With all due respect, 'they' (the MSM) have not been watching him.

Until he beat the Daley Machine's hand picked candidate in the RAT Primary (Dan Hynes) I never ounce saw his name in any Chicago newspaper. The fact is Obama was a back bench nobody. Even in his own district I bet most voters only saw his name come election day on the ballot.

This was sop. Growing up in Chi 'we' only saw or heard of 'our' IL Congressman when one needed a ticket fixed. And only a select few had that privilege. Everything was filtered through the Precinct Captain - those we knew on a first name basis (ours was a nice old lady named 'Sis').

Or to quote a line from Darkness At Noon:

"Bravo! The wolves devour each other!"

(When a former monarchist learns that his neighbor in the adjoining cell is none other than the illustrious Comrade Rubashov, a former leader of the Soviet Communist Party and now under arrest himself.)

Interesting article. Well, the Kennedy’s have sure returned the favor she did for them then. Ted is out campaigning for Obama.
